not to mention they're usually more practical weapons for such shootings, in tight corridors and at close range to people who could grab your weapon.
I've always figured that the fact so many would-be terrorists are just uninspired peabrains who blindly copy the narrative they've been exposed to, is what has saved us from the far worse potential of people actually utilizing bombs, fire, trucks and poison. Which were more common and more relatively lethal and fell out of vogue in the past few decades and now we get terror attackers who kill 6 people before getting gunned down. Even the most elaborate preparation by a well funded and competent attacker with all the opportunity and no mistakes, as we saw in Las Vegas, still killed less people than some muslim guy LARPing crazy taxi in france. Lord help us if they ever figure out what you can do with wire cutters, a bike lock and a drum of gasoline.
pretty sure this trans terrorist could have killed more people by just tilting his steering wheel while driving to the target
Shhh

What kind of weapons did Hale use in the Nashville shooting?
“We know that she was armed with at least two assault-type rifles and a handgun,” a police spokesperson said during a press briefing on Monday.
So you are pretending that without assault-type .... Such a risky bet are you not afraid to go for. Not a big deal anyway; your society problem is even bigger than gun policies.
Mass shootings are not uniquely American. Per capita, there are a few countries that are worse, which is astonishing considering the firearms ownership rate here. We'd be a lot better if we healed our culture to acceptance of normal ownership and responsibility.
