Unless you are believe in animism. The Las Vegas shooting might have been a combination of AR-15s and AR-10s, but is still under investigation. The worst mass shooting in the past couple of years was with (illegally obtained) automatic weapons at a concert, which is why the band is calling bullshit on American gun control activists.
I know what you want us to say...that we'd all scream that automatics should be banned, but that they aren't are and the ban didn't work
Actually, I don't think activists and politicians wouldn't be saying anything about guns because it wouldn't serve a political purpose.
If it was a basement made Luty or Sten, Chris Coumo might be walking through Home Depot telling us what to buy. If it was a black market weapon, I'm guessing Bloomberg's favorite Monsanto executive would be tweeting some bullshit about the "gun show loophole" or find some other way to demonetize their opponents. Maybe, just maybe, the focus would be where it belongs: on the corrupt and incompetent Scott Israel who knew before going to CNN that four deputies cowered outside, but claimed that he showed "outstanding leadership". The story is now that their captain ordered them to stay out because of the lack of body cameras. That isn't counting the 39 times (including the two where Cruz called the cops on himself). Then the worthless POS has the balls to demand more arbitrary police power when he had more than enough power to deal with it, but didn't, for fuck knows why.
If he killed more people with something other than a firearm (like the bomb planted at a Utah school that same week, but it fortunately malfunctioned or the mass stabbing in PA that same week.) Both of those were local stories.
In the US, these occurrences, while well publicized, are actually very rare when compared to the rest of the population. On a per capita basis, we are something like 11th behind several European countries. There are even fewer than 20 years ago, most school homicides are beatings and stabbings.
