What a sick piece of work she is.

Maybe - but Canada (with strict gun control laws)
Actually, Obama has come out more than once in favor of stricter gun controls, such as Chicago has imposed, and prior to the recent Supreme Court ruling, spoke favorably on the DC model.
As far as taking away semiautomatic weapons, that darned old inconvenient second amendment's going to get in the way, based on the same recent Supreme Court case.
Obama's position http://www.ontheissues.org/Gun_Control.htm
McCain's views
So, bottom line, if you want more gun control, vote Obama.
That's okay, because I wasn't trying to impress you.
I guess I just don't understand why someone would WANT to own a semi-automatic weapon.
I dont like Palin for a large variety of reasons, but this doesnt even make the list.
Wildlife biologists often manage groups of animals by reducing their numbers. I dont know enough about the specific situation in Alaska re:moose/caribou, but if the reasons behind the desire to reduce wolf numbers are ecologically sound, I dont have a problem with it. The methods have that gut reaction of being cruel, but given how remote the area is, and how shy wolves often are, it's hard to see how the job could be done in another way without being prohibitively expensive. I dont agree with the idea of offering a bounty for wolf legs, the chance that too many wolves will be taken is too great, but that doesnt necessarily make the whole program bad.
In Australia, koala are overpopulated, and wildlife managers there have be culling their numbers for years. No one likes to think about fuzzy little koalas being killed, but there are sound reasons for it. Are all the government officials in australia "sick pieces of work" ?
I guess I'm a "sick piece of work" myself. I wonder if Obama still wants my vote? My first job out of grad school (I am a wildlife biologist) was on a endangered species program, and one of the goals was to reduce the numbers of an invasive bird species that is decimating songbird populations. Part of my job was to check the traps, and kill the birds. It was certainly not something I enjoyed (and I rarely told anyone about that part of my job), but it was a necessary part of the recovery program for the endangered birds.
(BTW after public outcry regarding the koala killing, funds were raised for a alternative sterilization project. Does the same job, but is hundreds of times more expensive. Maybe you could start a grassroots campaign to fund wolf sterilization if it bothers you that much...
A semi-automatic weapon simply means it shoots each time you pull the trigger.
