A very few are used for hunting, despite

And how many large scale mass shootings have been done with them? Since
the AR became popular, most killings of a dozen or more innocents have
been with those guns.

I had a look at Frankie's reference and even counted noses and

score (1 dozen or more) is ... Pistols - 122,  Semi auto rifle - 118
Apparently in Frankie's world 18 is larger then 22 :-)

So that's the detriment. What are the benefits? And how can you, John,
live without the purported benefits?

Many people argue for them for same reason people would argue for your
right to own an electric car, even though they have no intention of
buying one themselves.

Krygowski would like others to believe he rails against guns becaue he
cares about gun victims, but I believe he does it because he can't
stand other people doing things he cannot do, and he can't do guns
because he's so afraid of them. He tried to justify his not having a
gun by presenting false evidence about it being dangerous to simply
have a gun in his home.
