I can see owning a weapon for self-defense. I can also see owning them to hunt. But why do you need a gun that can fire several rounds of ammunition just to take down a deer or rabbit? The only purpose for this type weapon is to kill as many people in a short period of time.
These type weapons should be in the hands of our police and military to protect us. They do not need to be in the hands of deranged people to kill at will. |

But if it can save only one life, isn't it worth it?
We need to limit autos to 45 mph to save lives. And maybe even remove alcohol from the market.

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 |
