I'm not a weapons expert. I don't know the terminology. But one man was able to quietly accumulate the equipment to kill 50 people and wound hundreds more in one act. That seems to have included multiple fully-automatic rifles, with hollow-point bullets that are scientifically engineered to do the greatest possible internal damage to anyone they hit. One apparently quiet white introvert was able to check into the Mandalay Bay with that arsenal. I refuse to accept that our constitution, or anyone's constitution, entitles anyone to amass that kind of firepower. This is a recipe for an escalating bloodbath as anomie spreads through our angry, fragmented, racially divided, frustrated and increasingly unjust society. Whatever pushed this guy over the edge, there's plenty of it to go around in America. I'm not sure I know how to live here any more.
