Concerning firearms the current limit is definitely modern military firearms.
(Editing to clarify, citizens are unable to own modern military firearms).
UmmmmâŠall the regulations legislated after those incidents did deter/prevent/catch similar tragedies. I am a law abiding citizen with a constitutional right to privacy who surrenders that right every time I get on a plane.
Werenât most mass murderers law abiding citizens before they mowed down their victims?

Does it say FIREarms? People had arms for centuries before the Musketeers - so let a future supreme court reaffirm that they can indeed âbear armsâ, just not the shooting kind.

Ok, so itâs fine if âlaw-abidingâ people own tanks, military drones, tactical nuclear weapons, etc, all of which are âmodern military firearmsâ?

Iâm sorry if you misinterpreted. I said/meant the limit was not being able to own modem military firearms.

This, and that the belief by gun rights advocates that owning a gun will secure oneâs security and liberty. As a long-term American expat in Europe, I find it is the absence of guns that gives me a greater sense of security and liberty.
Sadly, I have little confidence that the US will pass sensible gun control laws any time soon (this is the country where millions have chosen not to get a life-saving vaccine and hundreds of thousands have died in the name of âfreedomâ). I very much hope to be proven wrong.

As a Catholic, I do pray, but when it comes to something we have control over, there is no need for âprayers.â That is just abandoning responsibility.

I live in TX and most everyone I know owns guns and they all agree that there is no reason for assault rifles. If you want to hunt or Target shoot, they can be rented from a facility and then returned and locked when you are done.
Also, why can an 18 yr old by a weapon but not beer? This country is sick.

Unsurprisingly, lots of flags here. This thread is headed in the wrong direction. Iâm going to close it for clean up, and it might be reopened.
Iâm disgusted by this event. We can all agree that this is a truly senseless and avoidable tragedy and that action needs to be taken.
