Far from what the firearms-illiterate media claims, these are not systems that any Joe off the street can just pick up and use to effortlessly mow down 500 people. Running these systems requires extensive training, experience and stamina. It is physically impossible for a guy like Stephen Paddock to operate such a system in the sustained, effective manner that we witnessed, especially when shooting from an elevated position which throws off all the ranging of the weapon system.
This is complete nonsense like the reporters that are suddenly gun experts telling people all it takes to convert an AR into auto is an Allen wrench.
To get this stock in place takes quite a bit of work, it's not meant for your average person to do without some major headaches. Someone who knows how to strip one of these guns would have a better chance of making it work the first time.
It's not like saying that your average joe-shmoe won't get it working, but it would take a long longer, and a lot of frustration.

Oh, right. To protect gun owners from facing reality, by claiming expertise over the "illiterate" plebs, and pretending there's no problem here.
Knowing the subject matter, with a high degree of accuracy, about which you'd like to legislate is important. Especially, when it comes to something that's a fundamental right in the Constitution
Just ask Todd Akin.

Nothing to see here, move along folks. It's all just part and parcel of living in the US. Worst mass shooting yet but we can't discuss possible restrictions because of freedoms and rights. A retired account with no military training was able to kill 60 and injure 100s because of the large magazine automatic rifle he bought legally but its not the availability of the weapon at fault. A military trained man with 6 clip mags could have killed more apparently and somehow this means you should all be able to buy whatever weapons you want or else you are just ripping up the Constitution.
USA,USA.........
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I want to make it easier to get a firearm, in my state that would mean no seven day waiting period after purchase. I also like Trump's campaign goal of National Right to Carry, don't see it happening though.

Weird how he doesn't hyperventilate when Muslims kill just as many people in his own country in terror attacks.
