So if there's evil, why do you want to give it a semi-automatic weapon?
There is evil, and no, we don't want to give it a weapon of any kind.
Problem is, evil will get it hands on a weapon in spite of the law, gun control regs, or bans.
That's how the world works, Peter, evil is above the laws of men.

The disconnect between conservatives and their semi-automatic weapons is amazing. They are used in the vast majority of mass shootings in this county and you are sitting there saying..."gosh, guns are the problem"
No, Pete, we are not saying "gosh, guns are the problem".
I have a solid connection to my semi-auto, pump, bolt and lever action guns.

Well bullshit. One gun most certainly is the problem and that's the assault-style semi-automatic weapon. In this case, she was able to kill 6 and wound 6 more and was dead in under 3 minutes. It's the gun, not the shooter doing the damage here.
A killer with a 6 shot revolver could have done that.
And with some practice with speed loaders, a killer could shoot 12 or 18 people in under 3 minutes.
The world record with a revolver is 16 rounds fired in 4 seconds.

The only question to be asked is why do you conservatives insist that this carnage continues to go on!

Since 1980, 60 million children have been murdered in their mother's womb.
