Many semis can be modified to become full autos. It's getting harder to find, but that's the technicality that vendors have found around the ban. Just don't get caught with one.
The logic behind the NRA is based on the US constitution under which it states that every citizen has the right to bear arms, and the spirit of that amendment was to permit a government sanctionned self-defense of the homeland.
Personally, I don't believe that the US is under any such threat and if it was, I'm certain that it would be far better to recruit or draft people into a trained armed force, rather than the very old fashioned, and massively ineffective popular uprising. Pitchforks come to mind...
As Blackeagle so rightfully reminds us, it's not good sportsmanship to use such a weapon anyways.
The 1994 ban is coming up for renewal, and it appears that President Bush supports it, to the NRA's greatest surprise, being one of his top supporters, so they plan to vigorously oppose it.:shrug:
