Guns don't Kill People, GUN OWNERS KILL PEOPLE! [View all]

How many senseless killings have we seen in recent years were a "law biding" gun owner bought weapons legally and then senselessly killed someone.

I don't care about the gun owners right to bear arms.

I care about my right to live a life without fear that some unhinged, law biding, gun owner exercising his 2nd amendment right will walk into his local sportsman store, purchase the most high powered killing machine that he can buy with intent of going on a shooting spree and killing as many people as possible and kill someone I love just so he can could go down in the history books.

I care about my right as individual to live my life freely and not get blown away by some gun nut!

I know realistically we can't take away everyone's guns. I know people feel the need to be able to protect themselves in their own homes. But for Fucks sake can we at least draw the line with Assault Rifles?
