Not having the AR lowers the body count. It may not stop the attempt but no new records can be set. I can't even imagine what a freaked out person that spent 8 years as a Marine could do with an AR going for a new record. It would be in the hundreds for a body count I am sure. The one time that a Marine lost it, he used a handgun and still racked up quite a body count including 2 armed cops. But a 17 year old with his Daddy's AR and 4 30 round mags can easily hit well over 30 bodies and a ton of wounded. Like the fruitcake in Aurora. Most of his kills were from the AR with a 100 round mag that jammed right at about 50 rounds. The Shotgun and handgun ran out of ammo too fast and he had to go back to his car to regroup. This is where the Cops bagged him. He wasn't a pro, wasn't ex military. He was just a fruitcake. Had he known how to unjam the AR, he could have racked up well over 100 bodies with even more wounded. A record that even the Las Vegas shooter couldn't match. But fate was on someone's side that day but not for everyone.
We had 3 terrorist calls around here that the cops responded to. 2 were false alarms but one was real. A 17 year old was wearing a Raincoat on a warm sunny day walking towards a Middle School. Under that raincoat was his daddy's AR and 3 30 round Mags. One of the neighbors called it in because he looked suspicious. The Fruita Cops responded, surrounding him with their weapons drawn, never giving him a chance to wield his AR. He was inside the 1000 feet of a school with a weapon. When they questioned him he said he was going for the new record. It was reported in the news and then buried. It's been a few years and I bet he's still doing time at the State Hospital. Side note: Daddy didn't get his AR and 3 mags back.
In inexperienced hands, the AR can be deadly. In Experienced hands it can be devastating. The difference in a mass shooting from that 17 year old was measured in feet and seconds. And the fact that the neighborhood and the school had procedures to minimize the body count. Even though the shooter was stopped, the school was in a lockdown condition for over 2 hours.
The AR in inexperience hands didn't get safer. The procedures of the community has reacted to lessen the damage that a would be mass murderer can do.
So what you're saying is that you'd like to see AR's taken away from millions of law abiding Americans so the body county can be 28 instead of 30 in a mass shooting? Think of how ridiculous that sounds. Any gun in the hands of a kook is dangerous no matter what kind of weapon it is. You can change a mag on a handgun faster than you can on an AR.
This is just a baby step. The Democrat goal is to somehow disarm the entire country so only criminals have the advantage. After they get rid of guns like the AR, another mass shooting will take place with a handgun, then another, and the Democrats will promote banning all semi-automatic weapons, then we will all be stuck with revolvers to defend ourselves with.
