Well, a rolling block rifle and break open shotguns actually, and hopefully a long-rifle in the near future. But you get the point. As I said, I don't see a need for them. I don't ever see anything like that happening realistically, but it's just my opinion on it.

For a guy with some practice and a handful of pre-loaded clips, you can drop out a clip and have another one in and chambered in 2-4 seconds from your last round fired, depending on the firearm. So I don't think there's a difference between 1 guy with 1 gun with five 15 round magazines and 1 guy with 1 gun with one 60 round clip. You're talking 10-15 seconds of reloading time spread through the middle of a **** load of bullets.
I own three revolvers and one pump gun, an 870. Everything else is semi-auto. I sure as shit am never giving them up either, my nephews will get them when I die. I know I'm ruffling some 2A enthusiasts when I say I agree with you Benton, I don't really like the idea of anyone outside the military owning a fully automatic firearm, aside from a collectors piece. Full auto really has one purpose, suppression, the days of trench warfare and mowing people down en masse with a machine gun are long gone. No need for suppression in the civilian world, law enforcement included.
