That's something of an oversimplification, but that's the basic rule. I don't really get why anyone would need a semi-automatic weapon either, though, and I'm a former Boy Scout who proudly holds the Rifle Shooting and Shotgun Shooting merit badges. Hunting or home defense, I don't understand why you'd need an automatic weapon of any kind. It doesn't take me that long to pump a shotgun.
