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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
