Alright. I'm sure your semi-autos will protect against the government. Have fun.
They would protect me a lot more than just a handgun would, or no guns at all.
I realize that others have a similar view as yours, that we would not be able to protect ourselves from such a large and militarized government. But keep in mind that the U.S. itself was created when citizens of small colonies (mostly farmers) revolted against the British Empire. The British Empire had a larger military and more advanced weaponry than the colonists did. History is ripe with examples of underdogs overcoming horrendous odds to beat a ruling power. Read The Art of War, it is pretty interesting book. If you think that the only factors in winning wars are size and firepower than I am not the fool here.
