Sounds more of a societal problem as you have so eloquently pointed out - bad people killing innocent people. As you never mentioned how the killing is carried out I beg to argue the means is irrelevant. Be it by guns, blunt object or by hand the act of violence in killing another innocent individual is the real problem.

Unfortunately, people who are "not fit" mentally and emotionally are killing the innocent. As noted by SPC David Stephenson, the means of murder is irrelevant. Besides such weaponry as improvised explosives, sarin, flammable liquids, etc. we have such commonplace "weapons" in our society as motor vehicles.
The truck attack in Nice, France killed over 80 people and injured over 400 in a space of 5 minutes. It is enough to make one hope that homicidal maniacs will continue to choose guns as their weapon, and keep the body-count minimal.

This has been a problem within society for a long time - I doubt anyone ever claimed this lunatic used an assault weapon when he blew up a school filled with children back in 1927.

SPC David S. - A time long before the NFA of 1934, when "machine guns" were available without a $200 registration fee (~$3,800 in today's inflated currency). The only firearm used was a rifle Kehoe used to detonate the explosives in his car, killing himself and several others nearby.

None of it really matters since the effort to execute their plan exceeds the capacity of their agency... Enacting a control law would tie them in an entanglement that would burn them to ashes before any meaningful progress in their action.

SrA John Monette and the very fact you have to shift the conversation to abusive insults reflects back to your immaturity... A sixty years old man that thinks he can back is twaddle with basic abuse.

SrA John Monette I don't see a problem. An AXMC is my dream rifle but there is nowhere here to safely shoot it though I could settle for the AS50 but then again a safe place to shoot raises its ugly head again.
