I don't think anyone at all can possibly justify why they have an automatic assault rifle in their home for defense. Defense against whom exactly?

People with pistols or hunting rifles can still, if they really wanted, kill, maim and hurt a lot of people but not as easily or quickly as someone with an automatic. An outright ban would probably piss a lot of people off but limiting the higher powered weapons by tax, insurance, cost of ammunition etc, would no doubt go a long way to stopping, or at least lowering the frequency of senseless acts like this.

What I did think was ridiculous was that NRA guy saying the only way to stop this is by having armed guards at every school in America. Yeah that's right, give an entire generation the sense they are only one guy and a gun away from being massacred.
