    | The mass assassination of American citizens on Oct. 1 in Las Vegas by a private American citizen who chose to use military-grade weaponry for an unknown killing purpose is analogous to a virus invading our nation, a communicable infection which indiscriminately kills, but whose effect can be thwarted by mass immunization.
 
 The spread of military-grade weapons into the public community is a cultural virus sustained by assault-weapon economics.

    | Semiautomatic rifles are NOT 'military-grade'. True military grade firearms are full-auto capable. 
 And anyway, the SCOTUS in U.S. v. Miller (1939) ruled that only arms suitable for militia use are within the ambit of 2A protection, which shoots this joker's argument in the butt, pun intended.

                      | "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |  |  |
