Nothing like experience of being in a violent situation to fuel my intenseness or passion about what I think. I might sound over-zealous but from the information I have learned about equipment, knowing how to use it well, being able to use it quickly, being aware how fast a violent situation can take place, and the experience of being there have all affected how I talk about it. Yes a beginner could use an automatic and if everything works perfect it can work for them but there is a lot more to go wrong with a semi auto than a revolver when using it in an emergency situation. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As Evelyn Beatrice Hall wrote: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Actually I won't defend to the death your right to say it but it sounded fitting in this situation.
