Ted Kaczynski wanted media attention. A mass school shooting was thwarted when a grandmother read a journal that expressed wanting to be "infamous", the most notorious ever. It's a common theme. Yet no one is saying the media shouldn't give them what they want.

Just like the guy who had fuckloads of rifles in the Vegas hotel........



Those rifles weren't stolen.
I didn't say they were stolen. I said it was illegal for him to have them.

I'm enjoying you proving my point for me though. Very considerate of you.

So they have California rules up there? I didn't even know Canadian people had guns
Canada boast 3 of the top 5 recorded longest sniper kills.

Also famously known for their marksmanship in world war I & II and highly regarded for their accuracy.

He purchased them all legally unless I'm mistaken and missed the news? In cash from stores.

Because it's so cold up there they got used to controlling thier shivers is my theory. I remember that long sniper shot a year or so back. I knew thier military had weapons, I was talking about the locals

I think what the OP trying to get out of here is irrelevant.
If someone wants you dead or to kill multiple people, they will do it no matter the weapon. Bombs, machete, knife, vehicle, bat, shoe lace... it doesn’t matter. I watched a guy kill two people with a spork in the prison I worked at. A fucking spork
Yup. Virginia Tech shooting is the prime example. The guy had 9mm and .22, and killed 32 people, lot higher than Florida shooting. Assault rifle, pistol, scissors, pen, toothbrush or whatever doesn't matter. What matter are the intent and the labor that follows, the medium could be whatever.

Media glorifies these nutjobs which is a huge part of the problem imo

What about Vegas? What about Orlando?

As for me, I have an assault rifle because it's the most similar one I used in the military. I shot the shit out of it and I know the ins and outs of everything about that rifle, it'll come handy when shit hits the fan. (like Gov try'n to disarm citizens)

But frankly, now that I'm out of the military, I honestly don't give a shit. I know how to use it so I probably don't need to train with, if the laws were already that civilians can't own it, I'd be totally fine just shooting my pistol or shotty once in awhile. I just use it because it's available and I believe all the shooters of the mass use it for the same purpose. But like I've posted about the Virginia TEch guy, caliber or even what kind of medium don't matter. If you want to kill, you'd kill.
