Indeed, and when bad people want to do bad things, good people should be empowered with the same tools to resist them. > The "Semi" automatic mode fires at 45 rounds a minute, which is more than needed for self defense or hunting (unless you suck at it). The 2nd Amendment is neither for self-defense nor for hunting, to assume so is to be ignorant of America's history with firearms and rebellion.
