I could really not care that much for taking guns off the people completely, I just find it absurd that so many states still have absolutely no regulation of their guns.
What if you miss the burglar or attacker? What if there are five of them? What if there are ten of them? I want at least a semi-automatic for that situation. An automatic like an uzi would help a whole lot.

What does regulation do? Can you provide any evidence that it shuts down the underground market for criminals even one bit? It only works on people who care about the law, and that puts the good guys at a major disadvantage.
