I say that as someone that loves shooting, including semis, but all legal uses for firearms can be accomplished with the same degree of effectiveness with actions other than autoloaders.

I've never seen where it was used in defense of anything.  Always in attacks.

Defense stories seem to always be shotguns, handguns, etc.

I'm sure someone will find one now that I said that though. 

And I'm with you in allowing people to own weapons.  Heck I really don't even care if they want the biggest baddest they can get...I just don't understand the need for it.
