So you would rather we ban hand guns?

We have to solve the problem within political system that we have. Trying to solve problems on the margins is better than no solutions.

Handguns are also a problem, but a different problem. Handguns do kill the most people, but ARs kill the most people at once. You don't need to reload and don't really need to know what you are doing.

If you think this is a good decision, you are a seriously disturbed individual

You absolutly can kill 20+ people with a hand gun, where the **** did you get the idea that you can't?

And china has had several knife and hatch massacres over the years.

What are the weapons most USED in mass shootings? Because they are typically hand guns.

It would be more effective than banning AR-15's but I don't think doing either solves the problems.

Murder and mass murder is not a problem of the "tool" but the person doing the action. We need to figure out what's motivating these actions first and foremost and act on that.

How are mass shootings always portrayed?

I think we need a few more white guys with explosives under their jackets running around. You know, so we don't just identify that behavior with one people group.

You don't think the tool matters?

Considering we've seen people commit mass murder with:
Trucks
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36800730

Bombs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Arena_bombing

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/3...g-spree-n41966
Knives and hachets.

Guns, and all sorts of weapons...
No, not really, if a psycho wants to kill a bunch of people indiscriminately, they'll always find another tool.

You were the one impugning race as if it was a factor. So I wanted to point out that, the way these are portrayed is that they're always done by "Angry White Men" even though it's not statistically accurate.

Why do you think they are choosing guns instead of trucks, bombs, or knives currently? Why do you think countries with stricter gun laws don't see nearly as many truck, bomb, or knife mass incidents as we do mass shootings?

They may be choosing guns for aesthetic reasons, the shooter in NZ picked the AR-15 not because he liked the gun but because he wanted to be seen using THAT one in particular.
The reason that countries like Switzerland aren't seeing more shootings despite similar rates of gun ownership is likely for societal reasons.

One fact that researchers have found about high-profile mass shootings is that they happen in close proximity to one another and that the killers want the attention for doing it. If media refused to show pictures or run the names of the people who do this, we'd likely see less of them.
