So you're arguing that a shotgun is okay because it can also be used for hunting, while a semi-automatic rifle that aestheticly looks dangerous, yet technically isn't much different than something you would shoot a deer with should be illegal... Yet your preferred method of killing people (home defense) is the same as the aurora killers preferred weapon, a shot gun.
Why do you refuse to acknowledge that the real issue here is mental illness and not guns?

I'm not getting my point across very well apparently. No one with a shotgun or assault rifle is stopping the Aurora shootings because no one is taking one into a theater unless it is to go on a shooting rampage. I guess I don't see the point of "assault rifles" being available to anyone. Please, explain the usefulness of these for anything but target practice.
I don't think guns are the issue. I don't think all guns should be banned. I am pro-concealed carry being legal, despite the two morons I know that have it. I think some common sense should be applied. I see no need for anyone outside the military to have access to many of the high-powered weapons.
Also, I disagree with the automatic mental illness label on all mass shooters. I think there are just some very bad people out there. Bad people are going to do bad things. If they do bad things with reduced firepower, the things they do will have less bad consequences.
