You might be wrong about that.

I am not a gun guy and don't know anything about owning a gun. I've fired a .22 when I was a kid and a 12 Guage once (and only once, ouch), and fired a pistol a few times at a shooting range. Forgive me if I confused clips with magazines. There is no need to insult me or call me ignorant. This is just a discussion after all.

WTF do you mean they should only be allowed at ranges or other designated safety zones? Where are you seeing these weapons being used other than where you describe? They don't even allow "regular guns" in Colorado movie theaters or schools....Look how well those laws are working out for them.

My point is, is that
maybe these terrible crimes could have been prevented if it was harder to get guns, ammo and magazines for them. Just maybe.
