To assault things, the clue is in the name.

On the road in there were billboards advertising courses you could take which could certify you to carry a concealed weapon. I asked him why- if carrying a gun was supposed to deter others from attacking you- you would conceal it. He couldn't tell me.

New Zealand is to ban the sale of assault rifles.
Clearly a serious limitation of freedom.
It's very sad that it always takes a tragedy like this before action is taken.
Except in the US , where the argument will be produced that if all the people in the mosque had also had guns, they could have taken him out. Overlooking the implication that he would have had to kill a few before they realised what was happening. It's like they have a logic circuit plugged in the wrong way around.

That seems a reasonable trade. Seriously, who is going to claim he is deprived because he can't buy an assault rifle? Why would he need one? Why was he able to in the first place?

Who said they were?
Which "asshole muslim" are we talking about?
As for Trump, and not only Trump, the perverted logic that says the best way to deal with morons with guns is to have MORE morons with guns, is a stain on a great and civilised country. And the NRA knows exactly how to play the money and the playing with the Second Amendment to keep it that way.
It is a childish notion of freedom to think it means "I can carry a gun. Never learned how to use one, but how hard can it be?" which means that the rest of us have LOST freedom having to live with the fear that you will use it.
