It's a reasonable question in my opinion. But what law, what level of control will stop the shootings?
The solution is to keep these mental defectives separated from firearms. How best to achieve that w/o violating our 2A rights is a devil of a problem. I don't pretend to know the answer.

He's not, you're just seeing a glimpse into the real liberal mind. Ignore the problem, attack the people who aren't breaking the law, dismiss the constitution when it suits them.

All automatic weapons should be banned. The only legal firearms should be non-automatic. Any automatic forearm should be immediately impounded by the government.
Removing any doubt you're totally ignorant about guns or existing laws in the US or other countries if you think that guns are the only difference.

Your gun should be illegal!

What is the difference between your weapon and an automatic weapon. More that 9 rounds per five seconds?

Do you really need that much firepower? Did you have a psychological and background check before purchasing that weapon?

i feel sorry for you that you have such a narrow point of view in regards to politics. you cant see the forest for the trees. i do hope that you open up your mind and stop being one of the useful idiots that stalin talked about.

So you started out wanting to ban already mostly unobtainable automatic weapons and have now stepped down to semi-automatic ones.

One small step at a time.

In order to do so, we would have have to repeal the Second Amendment.... Good luck with that.

Do you really need a car that will do 120 MPH?

Did you have a mental check before you purchased your car? We all know how dangerous cars can be so you must be a little crazy to want one.
