Many years ago in central Australia a semi trailer driver went to a motel with his wife and kid. Obviously problems had been brewing as a big domestic fight. He had no gun so went outside to his semi and then drove it through his room and of course it went through the rest of the motel.
With a gun he would have killed his wife, kid and himself. With the semi he also killed ten others.
Our second biggest massacre was a bloke who set fire to a packed night club. From memory he killed in the high 20s.
For mass killing the gun is not the best. You should hope that the day does not come when the gun is not available anymore and more deadly means will be used.
As to the gun from memory it is not that long ago that a bloke in Norway killed 69?? people. So not just America.
Lastly, we should being seeing mass shootings every day in Switzerland given their gun situation.
And a bloke with a history of Depression flew a plane into the Alps killing over 200 hundred, he had the easy means of doing that as he was a co-pilot..
Had he been steel worker for instance it would have taken a lot more effort to commit mass murder..
The whole point of this argument is that you are never going to stop somebody intent on harming others, but why make it as easy as possible by giving them access to Semi Automatic Assault rifles and then allow them to buy something legally off the intent that turns it into an automatic rapid fire rifle....
Madness...
