Yeah, but you probably couldn't kill 17 in 5 or 6 minutes with a couple of 12 gauges full of buck shot.


You can hide four shotguns under a coat. Using semi autos with a mix of double 00 buchshot and slugs you could simply devastate a classroom in onder 60 seconds with lead and possibly kill more than seventeen even without reloading.

I’d argue the opposite, that makes it more defensible from a 2A purpose.

That is what was posted, and it's completely correct.

I'm sure it's been covered, but almost every weapon system was originally intended for military use. Do you think bolt action rifles were developed for hunting whitetail?

Think of how many he would’ve killed with a semi-automatic weapon.

Pretty sure his pistols were semiautomatic.

They were. Folks around here occasionally trot the VT shooter out as an example of “see, he just used handguns,” neglecting the semi-automatic angle, which is of course the point.

If they did not want it used by civilians, then they shouldn't have licensed the design to so many manufacturers.

Next thing we know they’ll try to ban muzzleloaders due to most of them being “high-caliber”. Lol.

“Our father, Eugene Stoner, designed the AR-15 and subsequent M-16 as a military weapon to give our soldiers an advantage over the AK-47,” the Stoner family told NBC News. “He died long before any mass shootings occurred. But, we do think he would have been horrified and sickened as anyone, if not more by these events.”


Did the family have anything to say about all of the Vietnamese babies that were slaughtered as a result of their father?

eta: Please note the sarcasm in my post
