From the outside looking in:
"utter lunacy"
How on earth can a automatic gun be classed as a tool?
If you want a hole in something use a drill (and wear saftey spectacles)
My feelings go out to the family of the child

A screwdriver, nailgun, hammer, drill are all tools. The intention of such tools is to build things. In the hands of a craftsman, fine things can be built, with few accidents
A gun is designed for killing things, thats the point of them. REMEMBER THAT. So long as turkey comes in a plastic wrapper down at the store, there is no need for the average joe to need to kill anything. Your constitutional rights come from a different era. Nowadays, there is little point in it. I live in the UK, and I only have ever seen guns, in the hands of the very highly trained police at the airport, and that is an utter comfort
The last major killing spree here (using guns) was actually based using leagal weapons, that were linked to a gunclub. We tightened the law up a lot since then, and to be honest it isnt far enough

In the best possible way, I think you guys in the US could learn a lot from us in this respect
