I thought we already had laws preventing the possession of automatic weapons for private citizens.
Every month Chicago has the same number of murders, and they have total gun bans, and it don't help those people from getting killed.

First. Bro Ohio, the gun laws in Nevada are so loosey-goosey that a citizen can buy automatic weapons, and silencers btw, but they have to be registered with the Fed, which requires a background check (Nevada doesn't require background checks to buy any other gun). And bro Ohio, a couple of days ago I saw in the news that a rich citizen bought a WWII tank, and parked it at his house. Imagine Stephen Paddock with that weapon.
They say, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. But not at the country music festival in Las Vegas. Everyone there could have been armed and it wouldn't have saved one life. It would have likely caused more deaths by panicked friendly fire. Everyone would have start shooting each other.
Second. Bro Z there's no way to outlaw guns unless the whole world does away with guns and all other weapons. Everyone, including the military and police would have to lay down their guns.
Fat chance of that.
As long as good guys have guns bad guys will have them. As long as good guys have nukes, bad guys will have them. Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people. But the guns sure make it handy.
As a result there's no fix for domestic terrorism. Maybe it's a spiritual/societal problem.
