There is going to be a change in how we view firearms. It's gotten absurd. People are walking to schools, churches, and theaters with "semi automatic rifles" that can shoot hundreds of rounds a minute and killing dozens of people in less then two or three minutes. Why does anyone need such a weapon? Hunting? Target Practice? Sport? No one outside of the military needs such a weapon.
