Every major city in this country has thousands of thugs running around with illegally gotten guns. They cannot legally possess them because they are convicted criminals or head cases but they have them just the same, and they will continue get them if guns are taken from law-abiding citizens. Cocaine is illegal everywhere in the USA. That hasn't stopped it from being a billion dollar illegal business in the USA. Do you want THAT kind of business going on with guns?
Also fully-automatic weapons are completely illegal for private use, so if this guy was using a fully-automatic weapon then he had it illegally. The illegality of it all didn't stop him, did it?

I don't think cocaine ever killed an Kindergarten class... FYI guns were purchased legally but they were semi-automatic. I support restrictions for semi, auto and extended clips.
