Well, let's see... What could have also been used to the same effect in
a situation like Columbine?
most any combination of:
shotgun

BS.


Au-Contraire! Entirely plausible! Why not?

bolt-action rifle

How often do you see police use a sword or crossbow?



Hmmmm... You asserted that if assault rifles weren't avilable, a
"Columbine" would not have happened. I'm asserting that assault rifles are
not at all necessary to carry out a tragedy similar to a "Columbine". To
refute that, you are now somehow equating *police* to the mental
deficients that committed the Columbine tragedy? Sheesh... The first thing
you do when you find yourself in a hole is to quit digging. I think you
and your assertions just started digging faster and have called for the
assistance of some heavy equipment!!




Defective humans who are not thinking rationally can accomplish a great
many evil things without the benefit of a scary "Assault Rifle".

And yet they are highly prized.


Which is "highly prized"? The defective person or the scary assault rifle?
(Not that it makes one whit of difference either way...) Still, perhaps
it's
a sign that you have come to your senses and realize that deficient humans
who are not thinking rationally can accomplish a great many evil things
without the benefit of a scary "Assault Rifle".


Who needs high capacity magazines when there's two of you. One to keep
their heads down while the other reloads... The difference between
our view-points is that I correctly identify the root-cause of the
problem as defective people who wouldn't be bothered by the inability
to obtain one particular type of weapon when there are so many to
choose from. It would appear that you identify the root-cause as an
inanimate object.

At least we agree on that!
