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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
