And kids have the right to go to school without worrying about some madman gunning them down in large numbers in such a short amount of time. I would say, they have a need to be able to do that.
If the crazies are running around with semi automatic rifles, the peacekeepers will have to boost their weapons a notch or two above that.

Isnt that what we are doing to the schools? Kids have to carry their things in clear bags, armed security walking the halls, doors locked, high fences...
But, hey, you get to keep your guns no matter how crazy you might be, so everything's cool.
We the people will never be able to compete with the modern day military. The more well armed the unlawful are, the more power our 'protectors' will bring down on all of us.

Ummm.. maybe read the posts before you respond? The argument I was contesting was the idea that if you banned a type of gun, the criminals would still have it. When was the last time you saw anyone wandering around with a machine gun? How many school shootings involve a machine gun? Obviously, the restrictions that were slapped on them worked. Maybe nor over night, but in time they seem to have been quite effective.

Can you show me a link for a “10,000 round clip” for sale?
Or more accurately, any picture of an actual magazine for a civilian purchasable firearm in excess of 100 rounds?

Do you enjoy being on the side that wants to remove freedoms and rights?
Civilized countries have laws. You can always leave this country and move to place that has no gun restrictions if it matters this much to you.

And you would rather we erect a police state with the authority to run rampant over many of our rights and freedoms before you are willing to see any attempt to prevent the the wrong people from getting their hands on high powered weapons that can discharge a whole lot of bullets in a matter of minutes.
