I wasn't for or against assault weapons. I am trying to reach a more fundamental solution rather then some archaic, cliched emotionally weak argument "ban all guns" or "ban assault weapons". Fundamentally I guess you still think the assault weapon fires itself. That this weapon has a mind of it's own and the trigger goes off. I guess what I'm pointing out which has gone over your head is that putting more gun laws on the books isn't the answer.So this would mean a "mass killer" using a gun could only use a single shot rifle is that your point?
What would you suggest if instead of an AR-15 the Texas mass killer had drove his truck into the church killing the same # of people?
Yeah.....what a "brilliant" defense of assault weapons.......comparing them to trucks is as moronic as trusting Trump to bring coal miners' jobs back to the U.S.....LOL
In this case it was a clerical error that the guy was able to acquire guns. But to simplistically as "gun ban" enthusiasts are wont to be, "ban all guns" doesn't solve the fundamental problem of the individual who pulls the trigger or drives the truck in NY killing 8 people... where are you on "banning all trucks"? After all the truck didn't drive itself.
You see how lubricous the argument for "banning all guns" becomes? It's not the guns it's the people and the 24 hour news cycle that blows the rare exception event out of proportion. Where is the similar angst about this fact?

Police have also emphasized that most guns used in Chicago crimes were bought outside of the city or state, where regulations are not as strict.
