re: This is the ONLY answer to school shootings

Okay, can someone show me a link to someone who was able to use an assault rifle to shoot and kill people to protect his business?

Or can someone show me a link to where they were able to use their semi automatic assault rifle to protect their home, and it was legitimately more efficient to use that semi automatic rifle instead of a pistol or shotgun?

ETA: I don’t want your “scenario” or some backlash website showing how it can be more effective. I want to see an actual example of it happening in the real world. Someone change my mind. I’m open to changing my mind if it can legitimately be shown that semi automatic assault rifles have not only protected people, but was much more effective than a pistol or shotgun and neither of those would have been able to help.

Yes let's spread our police force even more thin to prevent something that happens like 1-2 times a year on average.

Holy frick I hope you're not really serious about what you just said.

How does every single mass shooting end?
When they run out of targets, or when someone else fight back?

They end in a lot of ways that I can recall. When they get shot by someone else (the police are the ones doing this in the vast majority, unless I've missed some), they run and get arrested, or they put a bullet in their own head.

Are you sure about this? I thought they do...I've been on one for a party bus and they had them.

So the three people broke into his house and none of them had a gun, and only an assault rifle was going to stop them? If he had a pistol or shotgun in his hand, he wouldn’t have made it?

Yeah, the ak-47 saved him. But any gun would have.

I missing your hypothetical points?

Yes. Many school busses don't have seat belts. I rode on one last weekend. I

Seems awful.

I'd rather go with more money for mental health, putting troubled people in locked facility and not let them out until they seem normal.

This particular case had warning signals. Snag him and keep him away from humans except in hospital setting.

The problem here is that many of you are looking at this as "it has to be either A or B", when in reality it's a combination of many things that are needed.

And the narrative from some people is reminding me of this onion article

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

5/27/14 3:14pmSEE MORE: NEWS ISLA VISTA, CA—In the days following a violent rampage in southern California in which a lone attacker killed seven individuals, including himself, and seriously injured over a dozen others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Tuesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said North Carolina resident Samuel Wipper, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this guy from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what he really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past five years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”
