Barrel should have been drum. Like what the Dayton shooter used to hit 14 people in 30 seconds.

100% irrelevant. Just because there's a lot of heart disease doesn't mean we don't care about gun deaths. If we passed all this legislation and the net result is that the next mass shooters only kills 5 people instead of 10, then it's still worth it. You don't need 100 round clip to defend your home. You don't need a flash suppressors or 1000 yards of range and you don't need an arsenal.

He could have done the same with a regular capacity 30 round magazine. The 100 round mags are generally junk anyway.

Flash suppressors make shooting at the range more comfortable, and ar15s don’t have “1000 yards of range”, but hunting rifles often do.

And what business is it if anyone in a free country wants to own more guns than you feel happy for them to?
