No guns are illegal, just undocumented. We need to open up the borders for weapons to come in. We have to fight gunphobia, it's 2017 people. You can't just choose which guns are allowed and which aren't, that's gunist.
You can't judge all guns from the actions of a few bad apples, that's gunophobic and bigoted.

It's like, what if a semi-automatic weapon identifies as full-auto? Shouldn't they be allowed to transition?

Even if an attack like this, of this scale were to happen every single day of the year, not even that would be worth giving up the guns. As long as we have a system in which politicians are in power, it is vitally important that they think about this in the back of their minds when they weigh to what extent they can get away with treason.
In Western Europe, they're going fuckin WHOLE HOG self-destruct mode and they would not be able to do this if the people there had their own 2A.

self-defense is the purvey of individual agency, and the individual themselves.
neither the state nor the federal government has the right, nor the capability, to protect everyone all of the time.
the government does not tell me when or how to defend myself in a time of crisis. especially when the government is the threat.

Canadian Government strongly disagrees with that yet they can't and won't protect everyone. In case of Ontario Government. they refused protecting citizens number of times with Caledonia stand off being the largest example.

This. This is the key point.
Obama asked for more and more gun laws, all the while enforcement in places like Chicago were dropping like a rock. In Chicago in 2014, more than 2,500 people were shot – 400 killed – during the commission of various crimes. Police seized 6,252 guns, most of them illegal. How many gun charges did federal prosecutors push? 62. Yup, 62. If you want to be generous, that’s about 1%. And Chicago isn’t unique. According to research by Syracuse University, gun crime prosecutions across the US dropped every year under Obama, hitting an all-time low in 2015. In fact, they were 34.8% lower than in 2004 under Bush.
Don't ask for more laws until you enforce the ones you have.
They don't have the time or the money to prosecute. Solution? Take away gun + automatic fine. Can't get drivers license or their EBT. Make the fine payable, but still steep. Like $1,000. And have them do community service if they can't pay it. So you get either 1k for the city coffers, or you get like 80 hours of free city work teaching homeboys to have some manners. make them volunteer in old folks home cleaning up dirty diapers.

Sounds more civil than a lynching, but I bet we see lynchings before community service.

Enforcement in Baltimore is practically non existent and it's coming from the judges. The (republican) governor is running them over the coals for not enforcing gun crime statute sentencing with the ghetto animals. He has also retracted funding for committees that fail to do anything about any of this despite it being their purpose. Now if we can get that at a federal level...and review the laws on the books for common sense we could get somewhere.
