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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
