        Correction: Were used by the TERRORIST. That's what matters, not the type of firearm

        Not really, my AR has never jumped up and just shot someone. It's about the shooter, not the gun.

        a @Paulr04 @USATODAY So a criminal who is willing to kill 50+ people isn't willing to break a law to acquire a gun. You're a moron.

        well make at least a bit of a challenge to get a gun. Rather than selling them in supermarkets.

        ... There is NO reason that citizens should have access to semiautomatic weapons. The Constitution was written 250 years ago.

        the correct nomenclature is not assault rifle. Find out how many legally armed citizens were inside. Oh wait…gun free zone again

        there was armed security. 50 people still died because guns are easy to get in US because of centuries old amendment.

        let’s abolish the 1st amendment 1st. Armed security was pretty effective huh? Personal protection is a right.
