First to correct a few things, no an 18 year old can not purchase a machine gun. Those are highly limited and highly regulated, following the Firearms Act of 1985.
As a minister, you'd think you'd know better than to spread a blatant lie.
The other blatant lie: killing spree with a military assault weapon?? Do tell when this occurred, dear reverend.... There is no such thing as an assault weapon. Rather we have single shot, semi automatic, burst fire, and full automatic weaponry. The latter 2 are very highly regulated, very expensive, and very limited for public ownership (I won't bore you with facts, but I encourage you to research the steps required to legally purchase a Class III weapon. Then come up with the rather enormous money required to purchase one, if you can find a transferable one. Oh, and wait the current 9 months for BATFE approval on your background.) The Parkland shooting was done with a simple "scary, looking" semi automatic weapon, nothing more.
Our forefathers had the forethought to include the 2nd Amendment, why??? England had a standing Army/Navy, they were protected... The 2nd Amendment was written to protect against a tyrannical, over reaching government seeking to remove Personal Rights. How is calling for banning firearms (rather than actually enforcing the current ones, and providing help when it was sought and requested in the case of Florida?) any different now as it was when the Amendment was written and passed.
Before you remotely bring up Muskets, consider the founding fathers wanted all persons to have access to the most common weapon afforded to the Military at that time. I'm not asking to remove the Machine Gun laws, but please quit hiding behind your guise of "added safety and a partial ban", when we know the Gun Control crowd only seeks one thing: an outright total ban and removal of all privately owned firearms.
Well preacher, here's a clue... Criminals will always find a way, and they don't follow laws (hmm thus criminals), all you are doing is seeking to disarm law abiding citizens...
Our problem is guns, its people no longer care about their fellow man. Criminals no longer fear the government or punishment. The concept of life being fragile and deserving of respect has been long lost. We have become a society of immediate self-gratification, and everyone gets a trophy, and all get to participate, no matter what.
