I think a semi automatic is overkill for hunting the same as an auto. You don't need it, you just want it. A bolt or lever action is sufficient for civillian use. The thing is they can also kill so if you were going to ban semi's you might as well ban all guns, which I certainly don't agree with.
I don't know the solution but if nothing changes these instances are only going to repeat.

JFK was killed with a bolt action rifle. The type of gun has nothing to do with these nutcases except for one thing: The scrutiny and cost and red tape one has to go through to possess a fully automatic weapon almosts assures the fact that whoever this guy was, he didn't have one.
As for wanting a semi-automatic weapon, this is America. No one cares about what is sufficient. We are free! Especially here in Texas where housewives drive 4-wheel drive F-350 deisels (I drive a Prius) and lives in house with a garage big enough to house the family of 8 illegal aliens needed to keep our 6 acreas of lawn manicured and pristine! An if I want to spend my day off repeating pumping holes into a coke can with my Weatherby 7mm Mag semi-auto... that's my right also. No one has the right to tell me the can is just as dead with a BB gun.
