Donuel says: Turning Bushmasters into automatics is an open 30 second secret.

Donuel hit the nail on the head. The same applies to the AR15. The recordings of the massacre had the familiar sound of automatic rifle fire that all of us who were in military service have heard. This was a military rifle, not a hunting gun. It was meant to kill people - and these weapons should be banned throughout the U.S.

I'd rather have European-style laws controlling firearms, but I doubt that such legislation would ever pass U.S. legislatures. But for God's sake, we need to ban military weapons - NOW.

The Trump Administration says, "not now." They are trying to imply that it is inappropriate to argue about banning military weapons in this time of mourning. I disagree. Do honor to these victims by banning military weapons NOW.
