I know the thrill of letting go a bucket full of rounds on full auto - or trying to melt the barrel of an M-60. The excessive distribution of automatic weapons means every year hundreds of people loose someone they love.
you mean semi-automatic? in most states, automatics are illegal.

except for the Co. theater, all were daylight. so how's a night time curfew gonna fix that?
And you'd deny us the right to defend ourselves? that might work for you, but a 90 year old man just defended himself by pulling out his gun instead of his wallet. A grandma convinced a break in artist to beat it. and on and on.
In some respect, I agree with you, that an armory can solve some issues. It certainly would be nice to have a public locker to secure any weapon not needed on a daily basis. But 2 weapons were all sandy hook needed.

you do know who pulled off columbine don't you? a small group.
stupidity is contagious.
limited ammo? what... 6 rounds? 12? 100? if you're gonna practice, you're gonna practice. 100, wouldn't be unusual. when I was a collegic archer, that was a good start... daily.
