You went back and edited.

There is no government limitation on private sales of car between US citizens. If I want to purchase a Lamborghini tonight from another private citizen (and I have enough) then I can purchase it without a background check, or waiting for a government approval. I do not even have to have a drivers license if I only use it on my own property, nor do I have to get a tag for it in every county (some counties have regulations concerning tags in their county, but there is no federal mandate). I simply purchase it, and I can do with it as I want, as long as I do not violate any standard laws - like killing someone.

Why shouldn't semi-automatic rifles be the same way? Why shouldn't a .22 caliber semi-automatic rifle and an AR-15 be treated identically? Either can be used in the same manner, and one cannot make a person "more dead" than the other.
