Small arms in general and inefficient and statistically ineffective way of killing people. Been that way since about the Civil War. or maybe even Napoleon. There's a reason the USA has had the same standard issue rifle for decades.

Great for suicides though, some of you in this thread should try it.

What the hell?

You can't do anything to prevent killings in 2018.


Of course it's not that simple, but it all comes at a cost. Now I know people will mock me saying that and act like I'm a monster, but that is misguided. We make choices about safety and resources every day. And maybe I'm wrong that mass killings can't be prevented, but most of the evidence we have says that no measure can stop them, and there is a huge cost associated with a lot of these things. I'd love to wave a magic wand and make it go away, too, but life doesn't work that way.

Edit: and get my fucking name right.


I agree with you Sorkin.

Maybe bizarro world Sorkin

There is a very wide difference between "pretty useless" and "not ideal for all situations".

An interesting if not difficult to prove statistic...
Approx 50k rounds fired per kill in WWII, and that number quadrupled to 200k by the fully automatic Vietnam are.
Of course there were some full autos in WWII, the BAR and Thompson and I'm sure others I'm not entirely familiar with (I've heard of a .30 smg but I don't know anything about it).

Yet another thread where semantics are argued more than the actual issue. BRick was right: the cycle is complete.

Interestingly brick is really the only one arguing semantics.
