BANG!

didnt take them long to blame the guns. Anyone stop to think that the guy who actually did the killing is responsible. Or that if people on campus where allowed to carry and protect themselves someone would have put this guy on the ground before all the deaths.

"It's not one or two shots at a time when you're putting 20 bullets, spraying them into a classroom or into a dorm room," Helmke said.

Spray rounds with a semi auto? Never seen that. Still come out one at a time, as fast as you can pull the trigger. The mags (not clips) cycle rounds slower than a quick finger and a revolver do. see this Much faster than a glock 19 and walther p22 (read that those were the guns used)

Saw this one coming a mile away. Inasmuch as we don’t even know the shooter’s name at the moment nor what “clips” (I believe the reporters meant “magazines”) were used this whole thing reeks of irrelevant opportunism, does it not?

Lapse of Federal Law Allows Sale of Large Ammo Clips

Speaking of large ammo
I understand the Swedish 155mm Bandkanon 1A loaded its ammo in a 14 round clip - are they legal now?

Is Shooting Grounds for Gun Control?

[coconutt2000]

When you have a weapon that can shoot off 20, 30 rounds very quickly, you're going to have a lot more injuries," said Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

And what gun critics refuse to acknowledge is that if other students had been armed, the shooter would never have gotten off that many shots before being put down by a law abiding citizen carrying his or her constitutionally guaranteed firearm.

But let's not let logic get in the way of them making a point about how evil guns promote violence.

"It's not one or two shots at a time when you're putting 20 bullets, spraying them into a classroom or into a dorm room," Helmke said.

F'n idiot.

You do not get a KIA/WIA ratio like the shooter did "spraying" bullets. This guy was tactically effective.

If he could take the time to carry chains and padlocks for the doors, a couple more reloads would not have made any difference--especially against an unarmed, confined pool of victims.
