1. What point do you think you're making about semiautomatic mode? Everyone knows ARs are semiautomatic, they don't have modes like their military equivalent, M-16s, they have one mode. Really not sure what your point is. Are you trying to say that because the military uses their fully automatics in semi-automatic mode (there's a third mode, 3 shot bursts, btw) that they are functionally the same? Okay, it's wrong, but whatever and I don't care because it isn't material to any point I have made, it is wholly irrelevant to our conversation.
