Look, I get that there are a massive amount of guns and types of guns out there, so there will be extreme difficulty in legislation. However, it seems logical to me that high caliber weapons that are semi automatic, have large ammunition cartridges/clips, and are simply designed and built to mow down mass amounts of people would be a sensible start. The fact that 59 people are dead and 527 are injured in a very short amount of time would lead me to believe that he wasn't using a bolt action .22 or a 12 gauge shot gun. It doesn't take a ton of logic to imagine the type of weapon that was used to accomplish such carnage, especially after hearing the bursts on the videos. I don't need to know the make and model honestly.
What is you plan on the millions of these are out in the public?
Most are legally not registered nor is there a computer data base of serial numbers from the original sale (congress wouldnt allow it). If you propose legislation the will flood the market witht them prior to the ban (see clinton era) thus driving the price down and putting them in even more unstable peoples hands.
Yeah, I don't have the answer. I've never been an anti-gun guy, my father and brother both have lots of guns. I've shot them and enjoyed it.
But I see these types of shootings with these types of guns and think we've got to start to do something to make them more difficult to get. Like you said, the problem is that there are already tons of them out there and they aren't hard to get, I'm not sure how we reverse the trend in this country while also addressing mental health, "terrorist causes", and the other issues that cause people to break and act.
