"It is a moral outrage and a national disgrace that civilians can legally
purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and
efficiency. These are weapons of war, barely modified and deliberately
marketed as tools of macho vigilantism and even insurrection. America’s
elected leaders offer prayers for gun victims and then, callously and
without fear of consequence, reject the most basic restrictions on weapons
of mass killing, as they did on Thursday. They distract us with arguments
about the word terrorism. Let’s be clear: These spree killings are all, in
their own ways, acts of terrorism."
