this could have happened just as easily with a knife or a hammer. Spree killers regularly spray a room with knives.
They use bombs. This thing reminds me of the RAF’s bombing of the disco in Germany in the 80s. I get your point, though. The easy access of guns makes these atrocities more common. I wonder about the 3 hour wait. The police have got to come up with tactics to deal with these situations quicker. A military unit would have had the area secure in minutes.
how often do spree killers use bombs?
This attack doesn’t fit the typical profile. Typically these killers are ostracized from society, and are lashing out. This one was politically motivated, either religious, homophobic or both. Listen, we essentially agree that guns are much too available. I’m just stressing that the root cause isn’t guns. If we don’t take broad stroke approaches here, these nuts will just use other methods.
