Somewhere down the road, we may wish to use a reverse argument. Once assault weapons have become much more acceptable to the public through our education techniques and because the Brady's and others grow tired of banging their heads against the brick wall, we can start to make the argument that full auto is really not all that different from semi auto, especially 3 round burst mode. It's something we should consider at some point in time.

The anti's have tried their best to equate semi auto with full auto because they believe that the public is scared poopless of FA. Well, if we turn that around and can reassure the public that SA's are not that dangerous (we use them for deer hunting after all), and even the Bradys were equating SA to FA, then by logic, FA is not all that dangerous either. I realize that it's a long shot.
