Here's my proposed compromise:
You don't need to take away their right to bear arms if you just add a little paper tag on certain semi auto assault rifles that says
"please shoot responsibly"
or "please only use this gun to defend yourself against the army should it turn on the people or for hunting varmints. If you misuse this gun a sanction will be placed on your permit."
No one would disobey the tag, right? It's like a mattress tag.
