Assault rifle is a word the media has latched on to in an effort to scare people like you into thinking there is a different breed of gun out there more dangerous to the public than anything, mission accomplished....

While we are at it should we restrict the public use of cars? They kill people way more often.....or what it he had gone and killed people with a kitchen knife? Should they be banned?

I'm not trying to detract from the tragedy, because it truly is a sad day for all the victims and families, but misguided anger at a tool is incorrect. Let's treat the root cause of mental illness rather than cries of taking away legal gun owners property

I love this argument that the pro-gun people throw out there. You do know cars and knives have other primary functions, right?

Guns only have one purpose. To kill. It is designed to be a killing device. You don't drive it to work. You don't use it to prepare your dinner.
