re: #179 GeneJockey

I guess that’s why there are just as many mass murders in other countries with tighter gun laws, but they’re all done by people with cars.

Oh, wait.

Well, there was that gunman at the Jewish Museum of Belgium who shot 4 people, killing 3. He used a full-auto AKM assault rifle, which is illegal in Belgium, and only legal in the US if the full-auto rifle was registered prior to May of 1986 (and even then there are firm registration requirements). But that asshole didn’t care about the law and found a smuggled-in with which to mount his rampage.

So yeah, it’s first and foremost about the state of mind of the killer. A gun does not massacre people without a human being pulling its trigger.
