Pot had nothing to do with it...in fact if he was smoking up that day, it may not of happened...So this shooter was an excessive pot smoker. I wonder if this had any bearing on his atrocious actions. Since this is a pot smoking site, I'm pretty sure it would be hard to find an unbiased opinion, but I'm also sure there are opinions on this. I wonder if any of you smokers would consider venturing an opinion?
I think most people who are familiar with guns could cause as much damage with a bolt action rifle as a pistol. What steps did Texas take that might of prevented this?
Much harder. Most bolt actions only hold up to 5 rounds. Working the bolt takes a little time, and reloading takes much more time allowing bystanders much more leeway in taking him out
"I am going to kill her" PUFF PUFF "Yea man, I am really going get her" PUFF PUFF. "Um, yea fuck it, I am ordering a pizza...", "shit man, I ain't going anywhere"...
At least he didn't show up with a short barrel pump or semi-auto shot gun. The spread pattern would be devastating and you can pop in a shell between each shot so the shotgun doesn't go empty. He could of used pipe bombs. When someone decides to kill another, there isn't much to get in the way when they are committed to do it. Could of plowed through the group in a car.
Gun or no gun, if he was committed to the act, he would of found a way.
Oh yea, a bolt action took out Kennedy, and the shooter was a marine trained sharp shooter. A single shot weapon in trained hands can be as effective as an semi auto.
