My heart goes out to you, Orlando, and all affected.

“Americas most popular” AR-15 (M16) assault rifles strike our own people again and again and again. What’s the solution? Well, anti-biotics will never stop all bacterial infections, but they have consistently and significantly reduced their unnecessary death toll, and with minimal negative side effects. Food for thought.

I’m 100% for gun ownership, yet as for gatlings and bazookas and flame throwers and napalm and ballistic missiles, military-grade assault weapons like the AR-15 (M16) (designed to destroy as many humans as possible in the least amount of time) circulating legally and abundantly throughout our society (to the profit of manufacturers), and in the hands of ordinary, untrained, unregulated, and/or unstable (ISIL or other) civilians seems pretty stupid, America.

To truly limit the circulation of these things would require a coordinated, inter-state and national commitment; otherwise, these prolific evil little beasts will continue to cross borders and pop up, spontaneously at night clubs, elementary schools, etc. in any state, to do exactly what they were specifically designed by Colt (and others) to do: take as many human lives as possible in the least amount of time.
