It's true that people who want to kill, will kill. But I suspect murderers are somewhat a minority in this country, so I think i'd prefer to let those of us not interested in killing people regulate weapons that are designed simply for the purpose of killing, and not let the "Well, I'll find a way to kill anyway so please just make the weapon I wish to use legal and convenient" crowd write the law....no? :hmm:

Well shucks dude, why not add tactical nukes and death stars to your reducto ad absurdum argument? First off missles aren't firearms. Secondly people that own M60s legally do not tend to use them to cap convenience store clerks.
As for the rest. I legally own several firearms. The last person I want regulating them is someone like you who implies that anyone who owns one is interested in killing people with it.
Finally, the basic flaw with any gun control legislation is that it ONLY affects those who abide by the law. Criminals by definition do not therefore the only people prevented from obtaining firearms by your constitution violating regulations are potential victims. So go ahead take that gun out of Grannys hands. That way its all the more easier to victimize her....no? :hmm:
