Semi auto's like I have require a lot of training. You bet everything you said Bobster is correct in regard to ownership. I can tack nails with any of mine but hell I trained police and military how to use them. A wheel gun is safer for sure. However when a nut case start firing any weapon into a crowd it doesn't matter really.   In my state, all handguns are registered. You cannot own a handgun of any type unless you have a permit and it is not easy to get and is expensive. I think the best thing to get many of them off the street is to change that gun show law. It is always blocked by the NRA and I tell you what, no hunter will have his rights hurt if they have to wait the required time to buy their deer rifle or shotgun .. You are so right about your state, it is the supplier to most all of the criminals via gun show.
