Obviously I agree that the mass killings are wrong, immoral, etc. Yet I can see no realistic way of preventing them completely. I also dont think all the hysteria is really adding anything to the solution. Ive seen so many posts, comments, news stories, etc. about the AR-15. It wasnt even the weapon used.
There are those who say it doesnt matter what you call it, they are all the same. Obviously they arent. I really think it is all semantics if you dont understand the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic. High power? Military Grade?
The emphasis on the word assault really isnt all that relevant either. I think people just run out of exciting words to describe their anger and they just start throwing these words into the conversation. But then it isnt a conversation. Just an accusation.
If America decides to confiscate all firearms I think it will cause more trouble than it will prevent. In the end I think lunatics will find a way to kill people. Some measures will prevent spontaneous actions, but those who plan to kill and know they will die in the process will continue to inflict themselves upon the world.
