Still believe that common sense approaches to limiting access to ammunition, high capacity ammo cartridges, and to the rifles and pistols themselves would stop at least a few of these mass shooters.

I don't know if I had been trapped in a home in Waterbury MA when the neighborhood was shut down and a terrorist was on the loose I would have felt a whole lot safer having a gun with a high capacity magazine to protect my family in case the suspect came into my home
