We already have laws and restriction against full and switchable automatic weapons. The average law abiding citizen cannot buy mortars, grenades or 50 caliber machine guns but with enough money criminals and terrorist can get them and no amount of new laws will stop that. Who in the world obeys laws? The average citizen does. What laws do the criminals and terrorists obey? None with the exception of terrorists who only care about Sharia law. In a nation of laws the average citizen tries to obey them and will not go around killing people but those individuals who are inclined to kill no laws will stop them.

The narrative should not be about gun control it should be about terrorists and their eradication. The entire world should be involved in bombing the homes of the radical groups back to the stone age. Start with Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran maybe by then the rest of the middle east will stop their infestation before it gets started.

Yesterday I saw a backpack sitting on the side of the road unattended, called the cops and waited the 10 minutes it took them to respond. It turn out to be full of dirty diapers but it could have been worse. This showed me many things. Some of which are.
1. Our police cannot respond any faster.
2. Our police do not take the possibility of terrorist bombs seriously as he just walked up and unzipped it.
3. In the length of time it must have been sitting there nobody reported it but me.
I understand our little town is way down on the terrorists strike list but in my experience towns like this are the definition of soft targets.
