is asking to be shot down. If you can't get a gun, then you'll make a bomb, or drive your vehicle into a crowd of people, or take a machete or hatchet to a group of people.
We will never stop people from killing people, but we can try to ensure firearms, for example, only shoot so many rounds.
I believe in a "well regulated" 2nd amendment.
