There is a reason why gorillas and warlords made the AK-47 the most popular rife on the planet. There is a reason why the purchase of ammonium and fertilizer require an agricultural license and are reported to authorities.

When children are being murdered with rifles we have crossed from the realm of hyperbole into that of reality. You don't get that. I don't think you are capable of getting that and I'm pretty sure you will never get it. Make no mistake however, this tragedy is the straw that broke the camel’s back and whether you are on board or not something will be done about your ability to own semi-automatic rifles and 100 round magazines. Believe that!
