Wonder if he caught it whilst getting a pizza for Justin Welby.

I'd rather my local mental case be armed with a bread knife than an assault rifle, personally.

Could still do a lot of damage in a school if so inclined.

Yeah, he seemed pretty determined to do some damage. I wonder what his score would have been with a pair of assault rifles and 1800 rounds.

2 rifles and 1800 rounds 😳 so that’s 60 30rnd mags !!. I’ve carried 14 before and 1 rifle,  that was heavy enough. It’s always the same when this sort of tragedy occurs people focus on ar15 type rifles and nothing else. The previous assault rifle and high capacity mag legislation in the USA did nothing for public safety. There’s far more to it than assault rifles, as I’ve said before you have to ask what it is that causes people to think that this is the route to take. As for gun legislation the American public and gun owners in particular will with good reason  fight anything that restricts what they see as a right. Let’s face it one bit of legislation or set of restrictions is never enough for those whom want to restrict gun ownership.

The young fella at Uvalde showed up with a pair of rifles and 1800 rounds. He must have thought it was a bit heavy though, and either dropped or lost 900 of them before going inside. 

Still, at least he didn't have a third rifle too, or someone could have gotten seriously hurt!

Why would you even need a 2nd or a 3rd rifle ?.

 

Just because Arnold Schwarzenegger fired two at a time doesn't make them more accurate.

Takuma murdered eight and seriously injured 15 others with a kitchen knife in the space of several minutes.

 

I wonder what his 'score' would have been if he'd been left to wreck havoc in the school for as long as Ramos was?
