The Democrat Party Is In Open Warfare Against Semiautomatic Firearms Even Though The Technology Behind Such Weapons Dates Back To At Least 1903.
In other words, while Democrats present semiautomatic firearms as some sort of new development that gives heretofore unimagined levels of firepower to civilians, the reality is that Colt began selling semiautomatic firearms in 1903. Named the 1903, the pistol was a semiautomatic chambered in .32 caliber.
Despite the century old-status of semiautomatic technology–115 year-old technology to be exact–the Democrats war against semiautomatics as if they are military-grade weapons introduced into the civilian market recently. They chiefly try to do this with AR-15s, which Barack Obama repeatedly referred to “weapons of war” during his tenure in the White House. The AP quoted him describing AR-15s as “weapons of war” following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Neither the gun nor the technology behind it are in any way new to the American firearm retail market. – READ MORE
