After the tragedy in Lewiston on Wednesday, assault rifles should be outlawed in Maine. Assault rifles are used in warfare, on the front lines, to kill as many people as possible at the same time in self-defense.

We need to outlaw assault rifles in Maine and ignore those who blame human beings; the guns are at fault. I think assault rifles should be banned altogether in Maine. This terrible tragedy in Lewiston could have been prevented.
