Ban on semi-automatic rifles: Gun laws

Re: “Why are Individuals capturing strangers and neighbors?” [May 1, Nation]: I may help with the reply. As a result of any American should purchase a gun that’s designed for no different objective than to kill. And, not like automobiles, which aren’t manufactured to kill, weapons don’t should be insured. A greater query could be to ask why don’t the Japanese, Swiss, Chinese language or Germans shoot their neighbors or strangers? As a result of they don’t have weapons. Thanks Washington legislators to your latest votes on gun management.
