Orlando shooting/The non gun debate

[CapnAwesome]

It's not about a non gun debate, Drich. It's about a controlled gun ownership debate.

Noone can answer me why everyone should have access to an assault rifle, just to give one example. It's in the nature of these pieces to deal out more damage in a shorter period of time than any handgun. It's also about not every idiot having access to a deadly weapon. According to news coverage, this guy was already on the radar. Why someone like that could purchase his gun is beyond me.

If you've never heard a pro-assault rifle argument, you've only been listening to one side of the debate. I'm not commenting on whether or not those arguments are valid, just that to say you've never heard an answer to the question means you've never looked into it at all.
