Assault Rifles Legal In U.S.?

Another brutal, senseless massacre in the U.S. and responsibility should land straight at the National Rife Association if, indeed, they have been the deciding force in making it legal for American citizens to own assault rifles.  It boggles the imagination of clear thinking individuals why a country would have laws in their constitution allowing people to  purchase weapons such as these when they are simply killing machines not even necessary for Bambi hunters.


It makes me sick to hear gun owners claim that it's the person who kills, not the gun because if the bloody guns weren't so easily available to unbalanced people we wouldn't have so many massacres such as we just had in Colorado. 


If the U.S. insists on being influenced by the N.R.A., then maybe they should take the sale of guns and ammunition out of the public venue and sell these items themselves, after a decent investigation of the buyer, in government stores.  No-one with a criminal or mentally unbalanced background should be able to purchase "weapons of mass destruction".  


Something has to change in the U.S. involving the sale of guns and it has to do so before it's impossible to change.
