If you state that you don't see a difference, then I refuse to believe you have any intelligence behind your view, and are so-stuck in your argument that logic has been toppled.

    A semi-automatic rifle provides an extremely fast range of fire. That 60 bullet clip can be emptied in 60 seconds. This is a rifle designed to provide an assualt-like attack. It can be fired into a crowd of people and hit with great accuracy. It also provides a much larger range of fire than a standard semi-automatic pistol. A combination that can be, and has proven to be deadly.

    The logic side of me says do away with guns compeltely. Do not feed me the bullshit about how citizens would become enslaved, etc.. The fact of the matter is this country has more guns, and in turn, more gun-related violence. We are the number one country for homicides involving guns. Countries with stringent laws against guns also happen to see the least gun violence. This is fact, not opinion.

    Unfortunately, the constitutional supporting side of me states that guns should stay, albiet I see the need for regulation (including registry). I also realize that there are so many guns in this country that a complete removal wouldn't work, and would leave the weapon balance in the hands of the criminal.
    Lets be glad this wasn't done with a 6 round 12 gauge. Probably more children dead, and more wounded.

    I wonder what the argument would be then?

    Unless the shot gun is capable of reloading quick enough that 60 targets can be hit within a few minutes, I don't see how they relate.

    However, A shot gun with a high rate of fire would qualify as an assualt weapon to me as well.

    To be honest, I don't know alot about shotguns. Aren't they mostly pump-action?

    Shotguns exist in all forms and fashions. There are:

    1. Hinge action, single barrels
    2. Hinge action, double barrels
    3. Pump action
    4. Bolt Action
    5. Lever Action
    6. Semi-automatic

    Hinge-action single barrels and pumps probably make up the bulk of mainstream shotgun ownership. One .00 buckshot round from a 12 gauge fires 9 pellets measuring about 30-caliber each. Even a standard pump shotgun can be a devastating weapon.
