And seriously? People still think gun control will not reduce such events? how blind do you have to be to not see a connection? Pulling a trigger is about the simplest way to kill someone. A child can do it.
You have obviously not been shooting very often.
To hit a target with a pistol while moving and while your target is moving from any distance beyond 10m is extremely difficult, especially when your blood is flowing at a very fast rate.
I've always argued that any of these school shooters could have a body count twice as high with 1. pile of tear gas canisters 2. a large knife 3. good quality gas mask.
The very first gunshot is a warning and can alert anyone nearby, not quite the same with a knife.
A bomb would also be a very easy way to kill a pile of people, just ask a few afgans how easy it is to cook up a bomb in your shed.
A gun is essentially just a tiny device made to have a small explosion take place and concentrate the blast and provide a clear path for the explosion to travel through.
