In my opinion that does not matter. He gained the core assault rifles legally then had it modified.
If the core is not available, the modification does not happen.
This is not the first time a assault rifle was used to kill a massive amount of people in a short timeframe.
He sprayed the crowd. Yes, you could kill with another non automatic rifle or a handgun.. but not in those numbers.
Over 600 people hit by bullets.. in less then 4 minutes
nope, you can't do that with a regular rifle or hand gun.
ummm...600 people were not hit by bullets .. they trampled each other trying to get out...
And how many were hit buy bullets Moe. 200?, 300? 400?. Isn't over 50 killed.. enough? One guy was shot 5 times in a blink of a eye.
Does your statement somehow lessen the fact that a nut with a automatic weapon ( a weapon of mass destruction) was able to inflict all of this carnage, because he had the means ( assault rifle) to do it in the first place.
If this nut was trying to pick off people with a regular rifle or hand guns, would the kill numbers be soo high?.. or the injured number?
Again, I am not against guns. But I am against anyone outside of police and the military having the means to kill soo many with a weapon that was design for just that reason.. and no other.
you don't need it for sport.. or for personal protection.. so what is the reason for having it?
In my opinion there is no valid reason for a everyday citizen to have a assault rifle. It is not made for sport and not made for personal protection ( hand guns do that)... they are made to kill.. a lot of people.. in a short amount of time
