If you study the TX Tower incident, you see mass causalities. Not as many as Vegas. However, the shooter in Vegas had a bolt gun, he might have killed many. Would you ban them if the toll was 25 killed and 100 wounded? A rampage killer walks into a school class room with three 8 round revolvers. He shoots 24 kids. Should revolvers be banned?

What's your cut-off for banning?

You need to get beyond the moral panic if you want to defend your suggestion. All modern guns can be dangerous to many folks. Australia took out everything that would be useful for personal self-defense and they have no concealed carry of any sort. Is that your position?

The shooter had many rifles. If he had twenty lever action guns, say 10 round Marlins in 44 magnum, so that many were shot - would you ban these?

Cut to the chase, you oppose civilian ownership of firearms if your fear of harm is followed to its logic conclusion.

That's a legit position to discuss but cut to the chase. You don't think the reasons for firearms ownership outweigh their potential for misuse.
