A couple of years ago in Michigan two guys both licensed to carry a concealed weapon got into a road rage incident. They ended up killing each other which begs the question who was the good guy!
In NY we have the SAFE Act which bans assault weapons and those that had them before the law have a certain amount of time to register them. This of course has led to many attempts to repeal the SAFE Act which have all failed. I find that most people against the law have never even read it, are totally misinformed on how it was passed, and just listen to NRA talking points about it. The Act was passed in response to the murders of the kids in Connecticut. NY is one of the few states that actually did something! The law isn't perfect but then what law is! Nevada needs to consider it's own SAFE Act there is no reason for anyone to own the weapons that shooter had. The whole premise of the government coming to get you is just an excuse by some, let's be honest, sick, paranoid idiots to have thousands of rounds of ammunition and 50 guns. If the government did go rogue that moron with an assault gun will be ground under the treads of an M1 Tank or turned to dust by a drone! The very act of collecting all that stuff is the mark of someone that shouldn't have access to weapons. Oh and then there's the if everyone had a gun the Vegas shooting wouldn't have happened crowd. Imagine twenty-two thousand people pulling out guns in the dark not knowing who the shooter was, there would be hundreds dead! I was born in Spanish Harlem in the 50's and even as a young kid had to learn to fight but to this day have never owned a gun.
