Also, it's legal to hunt humans. It makes no sense to me, but Senator Feinstein said it, so it must be true.

Ah, but don't forget, Sir, that they can fire 30 rounds in half a second, and kill 93 million Americans every single day!

"And that’s a handgun — not a semi-automatic rifle capable of rapid fire."
Semiautomatic firearms are not capable of rapid fire. You pull the trigger and you get one shot. The rate of fire is limited by how fast you can pull the trigger. The exact same thing is true of the vast majority of handguns.

I'm more inclined to agree with PRO's position but they just don't have a good case.

CON seems to have a much better argument.
