What if they ban all semi auto firearms. Handgun, rifles and shotguns. If you were forced to defend yourself, family and homestead right now without a semi auto do you have any capable non-semi auto firearms to turn to?

Banning & getting are two different things.

The wonderful thing about 'speculation' is - The possibilities are endless.

It's a hypothetical question. Just for discussion...

Since we are dealing in hypothetical's I would go with a 30/30 lever and 357 revolver for close work and a 1903A1 or Model 1917 Enfield to reach out and hurt someones feelings.

If all semi autos were banned why wouldn't a DA revolver be on the list too? It goes boom every time you pull the trigger, eh.

686+. If they try that stupid 10rd capacity limit thing again, that's why I bought a G48 a few months ago. It actually fits my hand better than the 19 that I love and have had for years. Riflewise, I have an M7LS in 243 and have been thinking of getting a Steyr Scout in .223.

I'd get what I could, get rid of what I had to and keep shooting. If I were in England I'd shoot double guns and bolt rifles. Too easy. Might have to adapt a little, but as the Brothers say in south LA, it's all good. A nice Rigby 7x57mm stalking rifle and a sleek Watson Bros 20 ga double sounds do-able.

Already got a 4" barrel Ruger Security Six .357 and an 870 Wingmaster with an 18" cylinder bore.
Main difference is that when I blow away the home intruder I'd have to quip something 1970ish, like "Let's boogie, muthaf*cker. Can you dig it?"
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
