> Anyone can do this with a milling machine. Who the heck has a milling machine? From what I can tell, it costs about $10K to buy one that can do what you're showing, and it takes a lot of training to do that. I actually find it a little silly that it takes a couple of mass murders to get people talking about this issue. I'm guessing that something well under .1% of the victims of all shootings in America happens in that sort of fashion. Most are probably not very premeditated. I'd say getting your hands on a $10K piece of equipment and learning how to use it qualifies as serious premeditation. I'm much more worried about, say, domestic disputes that go from what would otherwise be simply violent to deadly because of the presence of a gun. Most of that isn't premeditated. >You going to ban milling machines now? Not a good analogy at all. Milling machines are not primarily used to kill. Guns have no purpose other than to kill, and mostly to kill people. -Z
