Which is actually a plus side for the gun control argument.
Oh, there are some ways to produce a 1000+ body count that is horrifyingly easy, @busillis
no guns or explosives needed.
I know I know but hopefully people that think like that aren't smart enough to figure out the pathways... And there are numerous pathways...
Again. Buying a gun just requires a trip to wallmart.
So they don't get there.
Sadly.
Shooting a tank doesn't do what you probably think it does. It likely becomes a flamethrower in most cases.
In general...
The alternative is they use something far, far more dangerous.
This is what is not understood in the gun debate. One should be thankful school shooters use an AR. They do so because it projects strength and looks cool. The alternative to guns is much worse and produces a higher bodycount.
That is an awfully big assumption
Depending on several different factors... but often those unable to obtain a firearm to menace people turn to a knife
Or vehicles, or explosives.
In fact, the most feared scenario in the anti-terror community does not involve a weapon of any kind.
And is projected to cost between 1000 and 2000 lives.
LOL yeah ok.... How many school bombings have we had? How many schools have a vehicle flying down the hallways?
The US? Very few. They have happened in other places in the world however.
School bombings?
Yessum.
Where and when?

Dang that's a wealth of information I have to take notes on this...
Ted kaczynski bombed learning institutions all the time.
@Maw so much for that theory....
@Maw Bombs make for a low [efficiency]/p[exposure] rate
not a good choice for a terrorist
a lone wolf I mean.
It ratchets up the technical requirements
Significantly
exactly
and the chances for LE to find them
the fish nets are designed to pick up that
Ok.... so the most recent was 15 years ago with no casualties... The most effective was in 1927... And the majority of them killed no one
which makes p[exposure] significant
Just saying.
