Guns/NRA/recent massacre in Colorado

First of all. Gun collectors. If you don't hunt, you don't use the guns why have them? They are COMPLETELY irrelevant to every day life.

The NRA can say whatever they would like to try and convince the public and the government that they should keep their guns "for protection". Protection from WHAT exactly? How is it possible that someone who has no use for a gun and no reason to own a gun can go online and purchase an AR-15-type weapon with no questions asked? POLICEMEN don't even carry those types of firearms!!

Average citizens should NOT be allowed to carry weapons more destructive and can fire more rounds than guns that policemen carry. It only makes sense. ON WHAT PLANET DOES IT MAKE SENSE for a random person in Colorado to purchase a rifle that policemen, who protect us cannot possess?

I am upset. Our right to bear arms was put in place (I am interpreting) in case the new United States of America needed to overthrow the government. In a day and age when WE are the most desirable country with the most desirable form of government, what do we need guns for? The answer is: we don't.

There is no reason that mothers and fathers should lose their children while they are going to a movie theatre. A movie theatre. There is no excuse, no reasoning behind it whatsoever.
