What a completely dishonest take. Automatic weapons and cannons existed and were owned by citizens at the time the 2nd Amendment was written. To say that they were clueless about the advancement of weaponry but the things you say on Twitter and Facebook were in fact intended to be covered by the 1st Amendment is rather stupid.
You also seem to fall into the trap of semi-auto is somehow this scary weapon when it’s merely just a function of that weapon. Handguns are semi-auto. Some shotguns are semi-auto. And yes, most rifles are semi-auto. Bolt action and revolvers exist, however not nearly as popular. So to call for a ban on semi-auto means just about all firearms.
Currently, passing a criminal background check is required for purchase of firearms, called NICS. If a dealer gets caught selling to someone who doesn’t pass this check will have their license to handle and sell firearms revoked
Of course. Just waiting for the “No one wants to take your guns” comment. But everything they propose as “common sense” would do just that. But it also very likely that they just have no idea what semi-auto means and just repeat what’s on TV. That’s the extent of ‘critical thinking’.

I suspect they know and that is the actual intent.
