Nothing to laugh about

We were all shocked to learn about the mass shootings in Las Vegas. The question being why are these type of rifles allowed to be sold in the first place?
Being a Canadian I just can't believe how many guns are in your country. I'm sorry but I don't like guns in any way shape or form. A single shot should all be required for a hunter.
I'm not a hunter myself and the only thing I would shoot an animal with is with a camera.
I know it's in your Constitution to be able to arm yourselves. That was probably fine 100's of years ago but today we're supposed to be civil people.
If everyone put their guns away then nobody would need one. I know I'm going to get a lot of negative comments about this post but so be it.
Lets live in peace everyone.

In my opinion we need that second amendment right more and more as time goes on.
diy is right on that it was never intended for hunting or being able to hunt, or even for personal protection as much as most of the media would have one believe.
The second amendment was put in place so that the people could defend themselves against our own government which is getting more and more out of hand with every new election.
Then there's also police forces that are, and have been acting more and more like private armies as the years go by deciding who lives and who gets shot frequently depending on race or the fact that cops HATE defiance and sometimes react with deadly force just because a person didn't do what they told them to do.
The Gov and some of the media would have us believe we only need guns to hunt and protect out homes and families from the people that get those guns and use them on other people and they really don't like people knowing the real reason we are allowed to by the second amendment.

Guns have never been the problem, people have.
As much as our governing bodies would like to stick people away for what they might do instead of what they did do, it hasn't come to that yet.

If only the military has weapons like some of the ones misused then the intended point of the second amendment becomes useless.
