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.

you can kill more people with a crowbar and a sledge hammer, than with an AR.

its just that people dont know how.

luckily.

You have to be pretty sadistic to beat someone to death with your own hands... Guns are a lot less personal...

Well.... the fact to assume that the majority of the school shooters or active shooters in any situation are going to be able to sucessfully carry out their plans and kill more people without access to high powered weapons is silly to me

This is purely schools, very narrow.

@busillis wrong presumption.

Am I putting my own bias into the mix?

think about it, but if you understand it, dont type it.

@busillis yes
