Ha! what makes you say Illinois is "plagued with gun violence"?


People don't realize even if getting a gun illegally is "easier" (It's really not). obtaining a gun illegally costs a lot of this magical thing called money, which I hate to say a lot of people don't have much of... Do you think a terrorist would prefer a handgun or even a Semi-Automatic rifle over an automatic weapon? No! Of course not, it's common sense that an automatic is more deadly and can kill more people. So why are most terrorist attacks/major shootings (in the US) done with weapons such as a semi-automatic AR's, & handguns? Over something that is more deadly. If they can get something deadlier that relatively achieves their goal better why not get it if it's "easier"
Here's an example.
I live in Orlando and last year we had the biggest shooting in US history, It was at a nightclub I'm sure some of you have heard of it.
"The Orlando shooter, Omar Mateen, had two firearms the night he killed 49 people and wounded 53 others in a Florida nightclub -- a rifle and a 9mm handgun. Both were purchased legally."
"Rifle used in Orlando shooting was designed for military use."
Keyword "Legally" Why do we even need guns this powerful that can kill that many people... just to "protect" ourselves. Stuff like school shootings/college shootings happen to be from Young-Adults who buy guns legally it isn't just about terrorist attacks. People can sometimes just be crazy, There's been a few case's that people have asked girls to date them or whatever and when they deny it they end up shooting them/ the school.

Please tell me, what is the logic behind allowing a 26-year-old college student to buy a flak jacket and this many guns...
"Six firearms were recovered from the crime scene:[21] five handguns and one long gun.[22][23][24] The long gun was not fired during the incident.[25] Harper-Mercer also had a flak jacket and "enough ammunition for a prolonged gunfight".[26][27] Police said they found eight other firearms at his apartment, and that all of the weapons were purchased legally by him"
Hmm, Interesting all bought legally. Oh, Not enough here's another shooting...
nice liberal brainwash posting you got there
Look at Chicago, being rated 11 out of 100 of being safe and 1 in 110 of being a victim of a crime. Anyone can get a weapon legally and illegally. A hipointcould be bought for 25-50 bucks on the streets, so saying it cost 'money' is downright lie. Go visit normal street and tell me how it was.

Getting an automatic or class III weapon is hard to get because you have to get it registered with the government, pay the high pricetag of the weapon, then the long waiting process. People can purchase whatever they want because we are a capitalist/free nation. Goodjob reading those buzzfeed articles.
