Actually, I have no real issue with machines designed to deal death. I actively support the right of anyone - anyone at all - to carry a full-sized guillotine around with them, anywhere they choose.
But when there are machines that are small enough to hide in a pocked or under a coat, and these machines can kill several people in a matter of seconds, then control and regulation of these things becomes a moral imperative. The notion that anyone who wishes to do so can buy a firearm is baffling to me (I'm told that's basically how it is in the US. Apos in advance if I got it wrong).
