So now this talk is limited to hand guns?  Just what would you define as a
handgun?  Would a shotgun with a pistol grip fit into this definition?
Also, why then all the fuss over semi-auto rifles?  They are used so rarely
in a crime, but yet people want to ban these too.  I enjoy using my semi-auto
rifle for deer hunting and at the range.  Just Wondering.
