Anybody here ever hear of mercury rounds?

I'm for re-enacting the assault weapons ban as previously stated, but there are ways to cause terror..

Had he loaded 30 hollow points a lot more suffering would had been had. He didn't need thousands of rounds to do the damage to society he did. So again, folks should coalesce around that one cause because your window of media attention and opportunity is closing.

and needed in this country is mental care for people like this.

This sort of thing is going to happen over and over again until we get to the point of helping people that require extreme mental help.

So get ready to lose someone close to you if they go out in public. We have created that kind of environment in this country.

What we need to do is improve our education system and teachers should be key to seeing problems like this bastard. Any teacher in our society should make double what they make now.

One other thing that will help is the fact that in 20-30 years almost all the old racist POS that want to go back to the 40's and 50's will be dead.

3. Yup, sometimes called an "explosive" round

You can do the same thing with glycerine, but ...

The long arm he was using carried .223 caliber. At ranges less than 200m .223s hit, massively elongate the wound channel, start to tumble and fragment - they do not need to be an "explosive" round because they do similar damage by design.

BTW for the nit-pickers; I know that mercury and glycerine rounds are not really explosive which is why I put quotes about the word above.
