Our country can have a strong national defense, a strong reformed state managed law enforcement, but it doesn't need semiautomatic firearms in the hands of its civilians beyond a well regulated militia. Everything else can get fucked.
You may as well add shotguns, because, he could have easily taken just as many lives in that 45 minute time span with a shotgun. It would have been far more uglier with a shotgun. The rifle he was using is actually a small caliber rifle.

It's almost as if the Democrats want to implement a new form of government and don't want those pesky 10's of millions of privately owned firearms standing in the way. This really makes more sense at this point considering how radical the left has been recently with all the rioting and the burning down of private property.
