Modern hand guns come in two varieties: revolver and semi-automatic. They are VERY common.

A lot of people mistakenly think that a "semiautomatic" is a machine gun, which of course it is not. A semiautomatic still only fires once per trigger pull. So does a double-action revolver.

Swell. I hope the owner of this home is cited for having a semi-automatic weapon.

He won't be because it's not illegal. Don't you think the burglar ought to be charged or does he/she get a pass?
