Yea guns dont kill people, people kill people ... and you give lunatics a knife ... this is what they do ... very dangerous ... 14 injured. Stabbed.

we should have given him a gun ...

Yea like I needed proof ... people kill people, and with a gun, they kill people a lot faster, easier and with less chance of getting stopped.

BTW this was @ Cy-Fair - where I lived in Houston.

Cool.

Hate to point out the obvious - there appears to have not been a gun in this story at all ... or am I missing something ?

Or you prefer he had a gun ... and you can shoot the shooter before he shoots you ...

Cool.
Srinath.

i dont want a crazy guy coming after me with a knife. it wouldnt matter though because my wife and i both carry guns. one of us would have shot him. hell we might have both shot him. we like doing things as a couple.

Actually having friends out there I know exactly what it looked like.  Blood was everywhere.  People who did not see the attacker or any victims were still traumatized by having to walk through pools of blood for 20 feet before getting to a clean spot of floor.  Many people dumped their shoos after getting outside, rather than look at all the blood on them.  Some people simply could not force themselves to walk through it and had to be carried.

But who cares, it was not a gun...

Bullshit.

So what if he was strapping pipe bombs to his chest instead.  It could have been 100 dead in seconds instead with hundreds more injured.  That's what we are trying to get across to you Srinath.  It is in fact people that kill people.  The tools they chose to use are of no consequence at all, they are just tools that's it.  The same person could also have used a vehicle and driven over several people killing them or injuring them just as easily, again it's just a tool.  Numerous things can be used as a weapon that are everyday things, and you can fashion a firearm out of just about any tube even make a completely functioning firearm from a 3D printer. As for the bullets you don't have to use traditional propellents you can just make black powder for use as the propellent,  all 3 chemicals for making black powder are very easily gotten by anyone with no age requirement at all.  Your so tunnel visioned on the firearm aspect of it you can't see that your tax solution won't work because they would use other methods that are much more effective at killing en mass at much cheaper costs.

I posted this to Srinath before but it did not support his argument so he ignored it.

Improvised weapons made in prison.

The burmese made guns with stuff they found - like ... gun parts ?

Y'know I am actually experienced at making motorcycles ... I just need motorcycle parts.

We are talking about a 28 body pile in ~3 minutes. Pipe bomb can do that, yes but otherwise a gun is your best bet. maybe we clamp down on guns, they will start building pipe bombs, however the bomb maker wants to walk away from the bomb. Its not the case with the random sprayer.


Cool.
