Everyone knows why, it's easier, but then why did they not use a bomb, you do understand a bomb created the largest mass murder in the Untied States, yes? You should look up the "Bath" bombing....


Why did they not use pistols....pistols kill far more than any rifle/long gun/assault/ shotgun....


So, dead is not dead, unless it's with a gun...typical leftist anti-gunner logic....

In that scenario, what was another gun toting coward supposed to do? Be specific, were they supposed to jump up and start firing away, like they do in the wild wild west....when nothing was happening?


God, it's amazing that anti-gunners can even breath....

When?


How did the unabomber get his explosives?


See, we can continue to go down this rabbit hole for a very long time with "what ifs" but the fact is, there are more people killed by other things than the mean old scary black rifle....just admit it...


Just like those 11 children in St. Louis were killed in 2 months in drive by shootings....this year....


^^^Stop this type of violence and killing by guns will dramatically drop...but that's inner city, so, those are off limits....

Does the fact that "more people are killed by other things" somehow render the reduction of deaths by a "mean old scary black rifle" a less-worthy goal?

Imagine forgoing cancer research and treatment because heart attacks exist.

Of course not, but if you are going to after something, you are going after something that kills far less yearly...that includes your hands and feet...
