    The weapons used to mow down hundreds of people in Las Vegas were designed as human killing machines. Weapons of war. Should be banned.

        They already are banned, would you like to ban them again? Maybe that will do the trick.

        They're banned to buy, not to own. There's a cutoff date, believe it's with weapons manufactured after 1986.

        If it was a gun grandfathered in which I highly doubt based off of the sound it made, I'm all for banning those too, but most of those

        Possibly, I'd be all for banning those too, in fact most mods to fully automatic are banned.

        But in Nevada there is virtually no ban on semi automatic weapons, and permits are grandfathered if issued prior to 2011.

        I agree with that article but I also think that there is a happy medium between Australia, and us tighter regulations on all guns would be

        The first step, especially on hand guns which is responsible for more deaths than semi autos

        Many are speculating it was a modified semi auto with a crank, also only new automatic rifles are illegal, old ones can still be owned
