If two armed thugs break into my house I have the right barrel and the left barrel. That should take care of the problem. If there are more I have 8 rounds in my 1911 pistol. If there are more than that I am in a WAR and probably dead.
"But I think it's time to reconsider the availability of semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15."
We ALWAYS come back to this, The EVIL AR-15.
As has been said, probably thousands of time mow, why the AR-15?, when it is NO DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPON.
Then how about a requirement to have a class III license to acquire high capacity magazines? I'm not in favor of banning anything. Just wondering if it's possible to make it more difficult for nut jobs like the Orlando shooter to kill so many people at a time.
"But there's no question that it uses a broader definition than what has been previously understood. For starters, it's important to realize that there has never been one universally accepted definition of a “mass shooting.” The government has never even defined "mass shooting" as a stand-alone category."

All they do is just stop issuing licenses. That is what they did in California.
Plus it doesn't deal with the hundreds of millions of magazines people already own.

If you want to throw in the towel, that is your prerogative, but you MAY NOT throw in the towel for anyone else who may be in that situation.
Even the rich have to pass a thorough background check and obtain a special permit (class III firearms license) to acquire a machine gun. Consequently very few people of any amount of wealth own fully automatic weapons. Machine guns and crimes committed with them are extremely rare in the U.S. Maybe it would be a good idea to classify semi-automatic rifles as class III weapons. That would not be a complete ban but they would be more difficult (and expensive) to obtain. Responsible people could still get them if they were willing to undergo the background checks and pay the fees. By the way, I'm not a lefty gun grabber, but a second amendment supporter.

Maybe we should make it harder for people like you to exercise free speech, also. I'm not against free speech but it's time to consider allowing everyone with an opinion the right to post. Maybe a permit process and a test and perhaps a $500 license.
That makes me think - I'm not against voting but it's too easy. People can just walk in and pull the lever without any training. It's dangerous to the nation. At a minimum we need background checks for voting. Maybe even a waiting period.
While we are at it, the notion one can just walk in and terminate a pregnancy scares me. I'm not against abortion but come on, at a minimum there should be a permit and maybe even abortion licenses.
More people die by blunt objects every year than by all rifles, which include the at-15, combined. But anti gun dems are scarred of economically correct black rifles. Statistics and commons sense be damned.
Democrat elites have a long history of discriminating against anything black. That's why we have ghettos.

There are already limits on free speech: libel, terroristic threats, etc. Nothing I have said falls into those categories.

Out efforts to keep cocaine off the streets is the prime example of "when there is demand there is supply."
The only people who obey the cocaine laws are the people who CHOOSE to obey them.
The only people who will obey gun laws are the people who choose to obey them.
Laws are set up to define unacceptable behavior and punish those who participate in those banned behaviors.
We don't ban cars that go over 75 mph to enforce speeding laws. We don't ban duct tape to enforce kidnapping laws. We don't ban dogs to enforce dog fighting laws.

"I wish I had less ammo," said nobody in the history.
The second amendment is not just about self defense.
