can't compete with an automatic weapon.

Too bad people gotta have their AR-15s. They have the constitutional right to have the ability to mow down hundreds of people at distance in a short period of time. Too bad people decide to exercise that right seemingly weekly now.

There is apparently no way to fix this. You can't take away people's guns.
