[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite the argument over terminology I agree with OP. Bushmaster and other similar weapons should be illegal (and I read that they were, but the law expired). We have no use for those.

It's about gun control, not banning guns. Most people who legally own guns don't go around shooting people. We need stricter regulations/backgrounds checks and banning rifles like the Bushmaster.

We also need to do something about how we treat the mentally ill in this country. That's the root of the issue, I think. Most mass shootings are from people who are mentally ill and haven't received the treatment they need (Sandy Hook, CO shooting, etc). It's very easy for a mentally ill person to fall through the cracks.[/quote]

Agreed, but it is much easier to ban the commercial sale of a product, than to track the comings and goings of the emotionally disturbed as the latter list changes daily. Weapons are made in factories and they require the purchase of bullets to make them functional, hence they can be subjected to strict regulation.

Ban the assault weapons and their bullets.[/quote]
