Mass shootings

This is my POV too.  I own a couple hunting guns, a 12 gauge pump, a 20 gauge pump, and a 16 gauge bolt action shotgun, a .22 rifle, and a .22 snub nosed pistol that doesn't shoot straight.  I'm looking to add a 9 millimeter, hopefully this year to my vast arsenal.  I feel confident enough to protect myself and my family if god forbids someone with bad intentions enters my home.  I like guns. I like my guns. But I'm not a gun nut either. Why in the f*** do you need an automatic rifle with a silencer in your possession?  What are you going to hunt and kill with one of those guns? Are you going to go shoot a squirrel with an AR-15?   Like my old man says, if you wanna play with guns like that, go join the military or local police force.
