Mass shooting in Las Vegas. 50+ dead

Nope. It is easy enough to get a license as long as you have a good enough reason, aren’t suffering from mental health problems and don’t have convictions for a violent offence.

That's fucked up. Considering the police don't even carry them why are the civilians allowed them? Makes no sense.

True. There is no good reason to ban a tool just because it has been abused.

But this dangerous "tool" doesn't have a non-dangerous use.

And why don't you tell it like it is and call it a "weapon".

It is a weapon. Okay. There are cougars where I live. If I should find myself facing one I'd just as soon have the means to address the threat. In that case, my weapon needs to be dangerous.
