I see no reason why a sane person would need a gun that contains many bullets fired at a rapid rate to defend themselves. To think otherwise is pure folly.
I have been reading many articles on this tradgedy and I am still sick over how many babies were slaughtered. Six and seven year olds never to grow up and have children of their own. They had a right to expect a life with so much promise.  |
I agree that there is no reason someone should need such weaponry unless they are in a war zone. The US has not been near a war zone since probably WWII at times.
I have been reading a book
The Zookeeper's Wife on the experience of Poles in Warsaw during the WWII and the occupation of the Nazis. The people of Warsaw had a terrible set of experiences. They went through the invasion by what almost anyone admit was an evil totalitarian regime. Maybe, there is a possibility that some foreign power will invade the US at some date or some radical military group will take over a territory or some section of a state like with Idaho's various militias.
Maybe the NRA should set up some kind of cache of arms in very secure locations accessible to very few people to meet the possibilities envisioned by the Founding Fathers of some kind of invasion. Foreign and Native American incursions were still a very real threat in the 1780s. Then the politicians could come down very hard on getting semi-automatic and automatic weapons out of the hands of US citizens and criminals.
