    If a public mass shooter wanted the best gun for the job, they’d get something closer to a PS-90 (the civilian version of the P-90 which is a military rifle designed for urban combat).

    You’re neglecting the fact that mass shooters are murderers, so close combat isn’t their thing - and the best gun for the job has already been shown - ar15-style rifles - 14!! - with drum mags and bump stocks:

    On October 1, 2017, a mass shooting occurred when 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on the crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada from his 32nd-floor suites in the Mandalay Bay hotel. He fired more than 1,000 rounds, killing 60 people[a] and wounding at least 413. The ensuing panic brought the total number of injured to approximately 867. About an hour later, he was found dead in his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

        That’s a lie. Anyone familiar with guns knows he had a machine gun up there.

        roflwhat?

        this is such a silly response I can’t even.

        he purchased 24 firearms over the course of years. Most were AR types - 14 .223 ar15 patterns but also AR-10s and a .308 bolt action.

        you could argue he made them machine-gun like with the c-mags and bump stocks; as the shooting went on his firing came in longer and longer bursts, 90+ rounds - but there were no ‘machine guns’ in the ATF tax stamp sense.

        Just stupid american laws crafted by idiot politicians owned by the gun lobby allowing civilians to approximate a half ass version that’s basically only effective for murdering unarmed civilians. A real machine gun is belt or box fed, has changeable barrels, a tripod or bipod with T&E, an AG…

              There’s literally video of the Mandalay bay shooting. You know how to google shit, right? And yeah, I am a cowboy from the middle of fucking nowhere. I know what I’m talking bout comes to guns.

                you don’t know a smoothbore from your asshole

                WATCH THE VIDEOS AND BE AMAZED: they weren’t fucking machine guns, they were propelled to those rates of fire with bumpstocks, you goddamn bellend. that’s why prior service people like myself, who have been around machine guns IN REAL FUCKIN LIFE, understand there’s no good reason for civilians to have them and devices like crank triggers and bumpstocks that approximate their rate of fire are fucking stupid and evil.

                  You’re a fucking idiot, dude. And see through as hell. You’ve not done any of that. Larping a character to push an agenda.
