Assasult rifles are much better at inflicting mass casualties than handguns do.
Roughly one third of privately-owned guns in America are rifles, yet they only count for 4% of gun crime.

Some of the comments on Yahoo news make me want to smash my keyboard through my head.

Even if he used a handgun is there any justification for needing an assault rifle over a handgun?
AR-15 with frangible ammunition is one of the best home defense weapons there is.
Also, it isn't an assault rifle if it isn't select fire.
Get that into your head.
Sorry i don't know much about firearms. That is a good thing

I'm praying for everyone involved.


Lmao yeah that's gonna help.

Not the police and people involved in actually bringing justice to the matter.

Just pray, and it'll be ok.


There's no need to jump on somebody for believing in something mate.

This is the thing, no matter what guns will always be accessible. You can't blame guns on a human mistake because guess what guns will always be accessable for hunting target shooting etc. banning guns will do nothing because people will still have them regardless. We obviously have a mentally I'll person that went on a rampage.

Holy -blam!-. At first it was no fatalities and just 3 wounded. Now it's 20 dead and 10 of them children.

Damn it. You can -blam!- about gun laws all you want, but while guns don't kill people, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to. And that ain't right.
The worst school massacre was committed with bomb in the 1930s.

Really? I always thought it was the Charles Whitman one.

''I am the Shadow of the Samurai. End of your life.'' (Cue mindless hacking with katana)

Alright, anyone who believes America's stance on guns is correct please listen to me:

Every country has crazy -blam!-s that'll go mad and start venting their frustration on everyone else, unleashing their violence at everything in site, performing violent acts etc.

When you give these guys easy access to guns, this happens.

Don't say, "Oh but if they want a gun they'll get one." Say the shooter here bought his gun in 2009, because he needed it 'for protection' when he was a happy, normal man, then his life took a turn for the worse in the last three years. Now he's a crazy -blam!-, and not just that, but an armed, crazy -blam!-. He comes home after a bad day at work, sees his gun under his table and grabs it.

Not every killer is a Breivik-style mastermind of planning and ideology. Some people just go mental at times, and if they already have easy access to firearms within their home, it's no wonder this happens so often in the US.

Worse at work where I hear random retards making stupid comments.

At least I can keyboard rage at people on news websites or Bungie. I'd get dragged down to HR if I raged on people in real life on these things.

Why is everyone raging on about automatic assault weapons when we don't have any details on what was even used?
Because someone who doesn't know what he's talking about brought up "assault weapons" which is a term made up by anti-gun advocates to describe guns that look scary.
What im trying to say is. Crime will always be here. And criminals in the US will always have guns. And these shootings will keep happening and more people will die. The last time this happened in the UK was about 20 years ago.
Yet crime and riots are a near constant in the UK from what I hear. It does not matter if guns are taken away or not, it will still happen one way or another. Placing laws means nothing to them, they do not care and will find a way to make it work for them.

Also if they were taken away, the people who do get their hands on them and sell them will spark something similar to the Bootlegging days in Prohibition.

Exactly. Because 'Merica and we need guns for everything!

We have plenty of civil rights issues, discrimination, and other problems, but god forbid we want to get a handle of this gun situation...

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I see an increase in home schooling on the horizon.

I don't see how banning an automatic weapon would stop shootings any better than banning handguns.

A gun is a gun.

Sigh.

I'd bet $100 that these are unregistered, illegally procured handguns, like it is with the vast majority of other crime.

The legal process to go through to get a weapon, especially a handgun like in this case, is not easy. You can't just pop into Wal-Mart and buy a Glock on the way home.

Thats why i said crime will always be here. But this is about stopping school shootings. When it happened in Dunblane we banned firearms altogether AFAIK there has not been a shooting since
