Yes all Military style weapons, ie semi auto (post full auto) assault rifles need to be FFL license only and not purchaseable by the general population. Laws were changed to stop the proliferation of Tommy Guns. The same should be done for their more powerful cousins. (Semi auto is only a few parts away from full auto, the argument that a semi auto assualt rifle is so much different from a full auto one is semantics to those kids lying dead in the hallway).

A gun doesn't care if it operates by the gas expelled from the previous round or if a finger pulls the trigger. The out come when pointing the weapon at another human being is death. Odd, Republicans are so against abortion why is it they find no objection to taking a life with a bullet.

Gun reform! How about starting with any individual that attempts to purchase more than one gun in a 6 month period? If there was a restriction in place people might buy guns that have a purpose, hunting, self-defense, or sports shooting like trap and skeet where clay pigeons are shot not people. Target shooting is a great sport, I taught all of my kids the ins and outs of safe gun handling. I have two rules that I live by when dealing with firearms. #1-there is no such thing as an unloaded gun. You treat every weapon as if it was loaded and ready to fire. #2-When presented with a firearm you personally inspect the weapon to make sure the chamber is empty and all magazines are set aside. This rule would have saved the set of "Rust" a terrible ending. Never give an unloaded gun the chance to take a life. When someone tries to purchase multiple weapons in a short period of time red flags should go up and questions should be asked. Tom Cruise would say we live in a "Danger Zone" and how we deal with the realities of that situation will determine whether or not we as a society make it through this time. We need gun control and background checks.
