If there are 18.5 millon automatic rifles and they get used like this ten times a year (I don't know the actual number) the vast majority of owners must be reasonably responsible.
My feeling is that if people want to kill, they will, they will use knives, swords, ceramic blades, whatever it takes. The trick is not to remove the means of killing, but the desire to kill. That is much harder because to deal with something requires understanding it, and most people are sohorrified at the idea of mass child deaths they have no desire to consider it deeply, let alone understand. That of course is just the beginning, one has to act on the understanding. Just for once I was not against the attitude of Trump when he talked about mental health rather than disarmament, but he probably did it for horrible reasons
