@marwilliamson If it becomes illegal for civilians to be armed at par with the lowliest grunt, *WE* will have Syria's problems.

@marwilliamson the madman in CO also had handguns, and if not that he could have killed in another way, guns alone are not the problem

@marwilliamson And they can even be purchased by people on terrorist watch lists--how clever is that?

@marwilliamson did u know that even if u were to make them illegal, criminals would get them on the black market still? I know! Mind blown.

@marwilliamson the issue isn't take away the second amendment or adding rules to it, but remembering there's always going to b crazies.
