    | All guns kill. Some do so with horrifying efficiency.
 
 In Orlando early Sunday, a heavily armed madman opened fire on the crowd at a gay nightclub. The attack killed 49 people and wounded 53. It also reopened the tortured debate about gun ownership in America, where the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms. In many states that protection translates into the ability to walk into a store, fill out minimal paperwork and leave with a military-style rifle.

    | "In many states that protection translates into the ability to walk into a store, fill out minimal paperwork and leave with a military-style rifle." 
 Get rid of the "fill out minimal paperwork" part (which really means fill out paperwork, show government-issued ID, and undergo a background check) and we'll be good.

                      | Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins ... Society is in every state a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. — THOMAS PAINE |  |  |
