What reason is there for any civilian to be able to own a semi-automatic weapon?

Gang members are armed with fucking machine guns where I live. They do home invasions. It's only fair that responsible civilians can at least have a semi-automatic long rifle to counter them.

I've been home invaded twice. I chased them off both times and they're lucky my friend didn't unload the drum into them the second time. They got lucky because of where we were situated in the house.

Police do NOTHING to help. Even when armed criminals threaten you with violence in front of your own home, police do fuck all. They'll even refuse to take a fucking report! They sit in their patrol cars jerking off in the church parking lot and collecting a paycheck.

That is why.
