Those folks that have purchased a gun legally have the intentions of protecting themselves or their love ones. Sadly we see that mass murders in US has seen more than 200 mass shootings since January.

There will always be killings as long as human species exist. The questions is how many and haw fast can one kill.
With baseball bat, knife, punching, etc..
vs. Automatic rifle, machine gun, handgun, etc..
Yes even a hunting bow can kill from a distance but not at the rate of AR-15.
If we have to have guns for hunting and ranching and other purposes, maybe it's time for license and registrations also insurance. Powerful Insurance companies might be able to do something our politicians and all of can not do.
Sadness.
