If the Bushmaster that was used in these killings was purchased legally, which seems to be what happened, if there was a ban on assault weapons the likely hood of this piece of *hit having a semi-automatic like this weapon would have been reduced.

When the Constitution was written (Second Amendment specifically) there were not weapons imaginable such as these "assault weapons".

Civilized:Showing evidence of moral and intellectual advancement; humane, ethical, and reasonable.

We live in a country with so many different types of people, so many different opinions, people with all types of issues, stress levels, moral and immoral, mentally stable and unstable. In my opinion these types of assault weapons have no place in a civilized country such as ours. They need to become unavailable and made illegal to be owned. Just my opinion (First Amendment).
