A well motivated person/s could do almost the same damage with a ball peen hammer.
Probably most posters here don't know even know what a ball peen hammer is.
The Mob likes using these
I have several ball peen hammers, although one is more of a planishing hammer.
Well I happy you know what a ball peen hammer is. I have several also. All are different of different sizes. They are only used for metal working. Although some people have been known for using them for other purposes.
Since there are so many guns, why is the NRA even concerned about limits on gun purchases? It's not as if the existing guns will be reduced by them. But seriously, the purpose of having a government is, minimally, to remove ourselves from a state of nature as "the war of all against all in which life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short." Even the Second Amendment makes it clear that the right to bear arms is for the very purpose of having a "well-regulated militia." Hence, regulations are entirely acceptable and it is about the general freedom, not the individual's right to weapons for no social purpose. Owning guns just ramps up your risk of a gun death by nine times. How's that for safety?
Once they determine it was an angry liberal who did this, the only News that will expose the truth is FOX news. The other networks will drop the story.
You think a liberal shot up a parade in a heavily Jewish suburb? Doesn't seem like an apt target.
We can have a country where there are no mass shooting or we can have a country where people are free to by all the guns and ammo they want to satisfy their sick gun fetish. We cannot have both.
Except mass shootings occur in the US at lower rates than they do in the rest of the world. You fall under the righteously angry catergory. To reduce your ignorance, I have linked a study:

The NRA is concerned that "limits" on gun purchases will be ignored by criminals, and only pose limits for law-abiding citizens or even turn law-abiding citizens into criminals merely fow owning a gun. That's the concern.
What I typed above isn't a secret or an obscure concern of the NRA (and many others). It is repeatedly and widely expressed, and you must not be paying much attention to issues on gun control if you truly were unaware of this.

I own many firearms, but I don't belong to the NRA. The NRA is only interested in scaring gun owners into giving the NRA money to "protect our rights." The NRA is just a scam to take advantage of Americans, to get their money, all the while laughing all the way to the bank.
Spend all the money you want on firearms and ammo. But never give a nickel to the NRA. They only represent their own pockets, not the average firearm owner.
I’m not one to allow perfect to be the enemy of good, but how do you get rid of over 300,000,000 firearms in the US? How do you stop cartels from trafficking firearms across the porous southern border? Even if you agree with gun control legislation, you can’t eliminate firearms from criminals and then all you are doing is giving law abiding citizens an increased feeling of vulnerability.
Arms are going the other direction on the southern border. Mexico actually has decent gun control laws. Cartels get all their guns from the US>
As for getting rid of 300 mil firearms, you don't have to get rid of every gun to make a difference. That is like saying we can't do anything about global warming unless we can get rid of every source of CO2.
What we can do is pack the Supreme Court and reverse all the 2nd amendment cases. We need universal federal firearm registration and licensing. Then, strict laws on gun storage and sales. If your firearm is lost or stole or sold without going through a licensed gun dealer (another reform), then you are strictly liable for any harm that firearm causes and you will be charged with a felony if you cannot show that you used reasonable care. That would go a long way to keeping guns from flowing so freely to anyone looking to shoot up a school or parade. Plenty more where that came from.
Packing the Supreme Court is such a bogus proposal. All you do is open the door for the next administration to come in and pack it even more and round and round we go.
there were 4 mass shootings in Chicago yesterday. but CNN and MSNBC won't cover these (black on black) shootings because they don't fit the narrative
Like you actually give a damn about black people. By for comments you don't give a damn about white people either.
What is this narrative you speak of?
What this so called mass shooting in Chicago yesterday on July 3rd an act of terrorism where innocent people where randomly targeted? Or was it someone having a beef with another ans took the gun violence outside?

Believe it or not I do quite a bit of peening. I have exquisite control over doming or expanding pins.

Someone obviously doesn't know that plenty of countries regulate firearms and have a fraction of the violence that we have in America.
Regulate guns in America the same way we do automobiles. Permits, pass written tests, vision test and road tests before being issued a license. Only special licenses for certain types of weapons, just like needing a CDL for trucks. Gun owners must have insurance and regulatory renew licenses. Also make the penalties severe for any violations.
Please tell me about the "white on white" crime that occurs. Non-black people can't commit a majority of shootings (because ~60% are black), and these numbers get even worse if broken down by group (Native/multi/other ~1, Asian ~1, Hispanic ~16, white ~20)
