What about hunting? You do realize that the majority of game in the USA is controlled by hunters, if it weren't so, numerous animal populations would overpopulate. Not to mention millions of Americans hunt for food. For instance, even with hunting the deer population in NC can get so high, hunters are given extra tags. Once it got so high the concern was starvation and disease would wipe the entire population. The 223 is really nothing more than a hunting rifle with a bigger clip.

A person could easily walked in there with two cut off auto shotguns and done as much damage, so I assume we should get rid of those? Millions of people prefer shotguns for protection, because you'll probably hit something while shaking.

The big issue seems to be clip size, say from 30 down to 10. I don't have a problem with that, I can switch out a clip in about 3-5 seconds.

What you don't see in the news is the millions of Americans that protect themselves yearly from criminals and stop further crimes because they're armed.
