Guns are legal. Murder is not. You're aiming at the wrong target.
Knives are legal, baseball bats, clubs, and hammers are legal, people get murdered with those all the time as well. There is no difference, murder is murder no matter what the tool is. Legally owning a gun does not make anyone a bad person. Murdering people is what makes them a bad person.

Yes.
Knives are legal, as are baseball bats, clubs, and hammers. However, when was the last time a man with a baseball bat killed a dozen people and injured twenty more? When was the last time someone with a knife did it?
I'm not saying make guns illegal. But at some point in time you need to question why a former US Marine needs or wants an assault rifle, no less more than one.
I grew up around firearms in rural NJ; We used to hunt every winter. We used to bring back the deer and skin them in our back yard. If you want to go hunting go hunting; You can own a rifle with a scope on it. No fucking need for a AR15 to shoot at deer that aren't shooting back at you. Want to go shooting, great, go shooting. We used to shoot clays with a shotgun. That's shooting. Not shooting beer cans with an AR15. (Although that is always fun.)
We need to question why people need this. The old programmer at Lightspeed Cash carried a fucking Uzi and Mac10 in the trunk of his car. Why? Setting aside that fact that he was a scrawny little fuck who could get knocked over by a breeze, he didn't need a dozen fucking firearms in his car.
I have a friend of mine who is partially retarded. He's had a dozen operations on his brain (He has water on the brain). Mentally he is sixteen, cannot pay his bills, and collects swords and he hands up on his wall. He also has an AR15 and a handgun. Perfectly legal, but at some point in time why isn't someone saying "He's not all mentally there, he hasn't been laid in twenty years since his divorce, and one day he might just snap - and he has an AR15 with thousands of rounds". Yet no one fucking questions this.
We have the right to bare arms. This does not mean we have the right to own assault rifles, and it doesn't mean we cannot start restricting them. We need tougher controls on this. That's just common sense.
This fucker was dying his hair red and orange. Yet no one questioned his sanity.
