The mass assassination of American citizens on Oct. 1 in Las Vegas by a private American citizen who chose to use military-grade weaponry for an unknown killing purpose is analogous to a virus invading our nation, a communicable infection which indiscriminately kills, but whose effect can be thwarted by mass immunization.
The spread of military-grade weapons into the public community is a cultural virus sustained by assault-weapon economics. |

Semiautomatic rifles are NOT 'military-grade'. True military grade firearms are full-auto capable.
And anyway, the SCOTUS in U.S. v. Miller (1939) ruled that only arms suitable for militia use are within the ambit of 2A protection, which shoots this joker's argument in the butt, pun intended. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
