Automatic Weapons Should Be Universally Banned
After the Aurora shootings, is there any reasonable argument why these are not unconditionally illegal all throughout the United States?

No automatic should be legal after the shootings the government need to wake up

In a democracy, a pistol should be enough to protect your family and that in extreme circumstances, a automated weapon should only be used in war

I almost went no here, then took a double take on the heading and started again.

Automatics are ridiculous. Those gun-totin' Americans who proclaim that they're useful, what the hell do you need to fight that you need that much firepower?

The unfortunate thing about this is that this would inevitably create a black market for automatics (as would banning guns entirely). But even so, I believe it would restrict most gun sales of automatics anywhere, and definitely reduce these massacres.

Gun control reduces crime, not banning guns, or giving everyone a gun.

I don't have a problem with rifles, shotgun or handguns because there are useful purposes for all of these. But I'm sorry, most people purchasing an automatic are up to no good.
