The fact that people lack the basic thinking skills to recognize the impact of such powerful weapons is perhaps the greatest tragedy. [/quote]

Or maybe it is that not everyone buys into the hype/propaganda about the AR-15.  First the name, the AR does not stand for assault rifle but rather for Armalite the company that first made the rifle.  Second, the typical deer hunting rifle, a .308 Winchester, has a greater ballistic capability.   Third these hunting rifles can easily be equipped with 20 round magazines, yes the bolt action design of the rifle slows firing speed but it is still a very effective weapon.  Do you plan to take away everyone’s hunting rifle as well. I

Don’t get me wrong mass shootings are horrific and terrible events, but the AR-15 that everyone wants to get rid of has been around since the 1950’s, a good 40 years before we began to see mass shootings at schools and other venues.

Want to stop mass shootings, improve mental health screenings and treatment.  Get people with mental illness into treatment and where necessary confinement.  That is how you will stop mass shootings.

People with mental illness will always find a way to do harm.  In countries with restricted access to guns they do it by driving vehicles into pedestrian only spaces.

Fix the root cause of the problem for once. [/quote]
