The lead cause of mass murder now are guns.Can you mass kill with a brick?Picking up a brick can accomplish the same thing.
Yes.
You can commit mass murder with a can of gasoline, a car, a truck, a truck with a snow plow would be very effective you can commit mass murder with a knife, and yes a gun and probably a hundred other things
No, the lead cause of mass murder is the same as it's always been: humans.
True but you don't hand over weapons of mass destruction to do it. We can't fix how someone grew up, what their inter thoughts & beliefs are but we sure as hell can stop them from acquiring weapons that can kill hundred's within minutes.
NO, you can NOT at all stop them from acquiring weapons that can kill hundreds within minutes!
Are you so ill informed that you think an AR can shoot any faster than any firearm?
It is single shot, in that you have to pull the trigger each time, just like any firearm.
And the reality is that if Cruz had chosen a shotgun, he could easily have killed twice as many, because you can kill 2 or 3 with each individual shot.
And if you made rifles and shotguns illegal, then Cruz could have used 2 pistols at once, and likely killed 4 times as many as he did.
What you are suggesting is attempting to turn back the clock, putting the genie back in the bottle, like pretending nuclear weapons don't actually exist.
It can't be done, it would ruin the republic to try, and it is just insane.
You should be glad Cruz just did not do something like arson or a gas explosion, which could have wiped out the majority of the students.
Obviously what you should be doing in stead is preventing the bullying that caused the harm in the first place, or ensuring schools have better quality guards.
