Why do you think PA resists allowing semi auto rifles for deer hunting?

Phils post was very good imo. The only thing I disagree with are the turrets in the sun roof.
At one time I was going to do that with one of my trucks.

I think we can all see the utility of "Technicals" in modern traffic, but I'd start with a pickup truck. The sunroof is too restricting.

Whataya gonna do, ride illegally in the truck bed?

Yeah, THAT'S the part that's concerning.

Needs to be a Toyota to be official.

I'm not sure whether you intend to say that hunting large game with a semi-auto is inherently frivolous or if you're just debating that guy's point, but my interest in firearms began by collecting range toys, almost all of which were semi-automatic. In order to hunt, I was required to purchase a new gun, which can run several hundred dollars, despite having a semi-automatic .308 and 6.5 Grendel that were up to the task. IMO, a perfectly non-frivolous reason to hunt with semi-auto's is "I have a semi-auto and I don't have a manual action." A price barrier of several hundred dollars is not small for a lot of people. You can restrict mag capacities to as low as a single round if you want to assuage concerns about people being dumbasses, but to blanket ban an entire class of firearm that is near-universally allowed for hunting across the country over public safety concerns that don't bear out in the data doesn't really make a lot of sense to me.

I have a solution that will satisfy both sides...

All semi-autos, but with a magazine limit of 0. lol ....just the one in the chamber.

I'll counter with total capacity of 2 and straight wall cartridges, try that for a year and when the streets/woods aren't red with blood then open it up some more.

How about semi-auto for resident license holders only?
