Any gun can be considered a killing machine.

Yes, and you can kill a person with a frying pan but we don't see any mass-frying pan killings now do we? This question is not about 2nd amendment, or people's right to defend themselves. It's about grown up people wanting to play with guns and using the 2nd amendment as an excuse for it. The police in my country usually doesnt even wear firearms, arming everyone and their grandmother will only decrease individual freedom and safety.

People used to kill each other with sticks n stones. Then they moved onto bows n arrows and swords. Now guns. Take away the guns, and they'll just revert to using sharp metal objects again. Yes, the people who plan to shoot n run and get away with it, will now think twice, but people like the Las Vegas shooter, clearly were all in, and in that case people are going to be injured or killed regardless. 

Weapons themselves don't kill people. People kill people.
