The struggle will finally come down to banning all semi automatic weapons with detachable magazines or fixed magazines with over a certain capacity.

Look to NZ for a model as was done in Australia. In NZ, the prime minister's ban was passed by a 119 to 1 vote.

The country seems to think that there is no need for those types of weapons compared to the risk.

They don't see them as needed for self-defense or defense against tyranny. The risk of foreign invasion in any foreseeable future is not there. WWII is long gone and a future invasion not likely. They are the country that got rid of all their fighter planes.

In the USA, with so many folks bleating that 5 is enough, the self-defense argument is undercut every day on the gun world internet and press.
