Okay, so they were smoking pot, which I'm sure is some kind of offense in PA, it certainly is here, (though cops kind of look the other way in many jurisdictions if it is in their own home, as one police chief admitted to once on talk radio). But the guy was a convicted felon, which likely automatically puts you under a firearms prohibition order of some sort or other, (the US is actually more strict in many cases with even more Draconian penalties), but he had a firearm regardless. Child gets hold of said firearm and kills herself. There are reasons why some folks are under prohibition orders, THEY DON'T OBEY THE FRIGGIN' LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!. If someone without Jell-O between their ears could possibly explain how restricting firearms ownership from law abiding citizens would stop this, I'm listening.
I don't even like semi-autos.....you have to pick up the brass all over the place for reloading...
I don't like ATV's either because they ruin the trails for everyone else, that's a different topic but along the same line. Semi-autos have their place, but I do appreciate re-loaders because, like me, they do pick up their brass instead of leaving it to the cleanup crew on the range, like me, (BTW, .22 rimfire and SKS shooters are by far the worst, shotgunners come a distant second).
