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.

Nice Sentiment but there are millions of guns out there in the US and anything short of melting them all down will mean one thing. The criminals will find a way always to get a gun, and that leaves the innocent unprotected. People have a right to protect themselves and in an open society that leaves an opening for these rare but horrific things to happen. No amount of legislation will solve this, so the politicians can just shut up. Someone who is willing to kill innocent men, women and children is not concerned with breaking a silencer law, or what type of weapon or how many bullets they can buy. Just like the technology of computers, when they work and are used properly they are great, when someone steals your identity or you get a virus it sucks.
