(3,173 posts)Machine guns aren't like ordinary guns. They have a history of changing the world, and they are continuing to change the world. There will eventually be restrictions on private ownership of machine guns, even if we have to start from scratch. It may involve a reassessment of policies that feed into the worldwide demand for machine guns, but it will happen.
At the present time support for private gun ownership is tied up with personal security, but easy access to machine guns does not enhance person security; it threatens it. These massacres are coming closer together and with gathering intensity. It's only a matter of time before some "revulsion threshold" is crossed.
