How about focusing on the killers of multiple people instead of on the weapons they choose to use?
Y'know what .. I don't know if I dig his trigger discipline like he has.That's what I figured...Just checking.
Well...That grip does give you more tip control...Until you lose the finger that is.
I guess because mass killers usually use guns?
"Over the past decade, about 75% of the 1,423 who have died in mass killings were shot. And some of the deadliest mass killings have been shootings, such as the Virginia Tech massacre."
Guns are not the only deadly weapon for mass killers
Mass killings, such as the shootings at Umpqua Community College, don't always involve guns.

No, I do not.
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?
I believe I have the right to self-defense. Don't you?
No one's arguing that people don't have the right to self-defense. As Amnesty International observes:
Easy access to firearms – whether legal or illegal – is one of the main drivers of gun violence.
The state has an obligation to maximize the protection of human rights, creating the safest possible environment for the most people, especially those considered to be at the greatest risk. If a state does not exercise adequate control over the possession and use of firearms in the face of persistent gun violence, this could amount to a breach of their obligations under international human rights law.
This is why Amnesty International calls on states to fulfill their obligations to introduce and implement strict gun violence prevention laws and regulations. States also have the duty to establish measures they can use to intervene at community level to reduce and prevent gun violence in people’s daily lives.
Amnesty International campaigns for governments to use common-sense gun reform to stop gun violence and protect people’s right to life. Our human rights are not protected if our leaders fail to tackle and stop gun violence and gun deaths.
We need to prioritise people over guns.
We have the right to be safe from gun violence.

80% of murders and 75% of mass murders are committed with guns and easy access to guns is one of the main drivers of gun violence. How far down the reality-denial hole do you want to go?
The following lip-service...
...followed by a bunch of claptrap about why people don't have the right to self-defense.
Easy access to knives – whether legal or illegal – is one of the main drivers of knife violence.
Easy access to pointed sticks – whether legal or illegal – is one of the main drivers of pointed stick violence.
Easy access to hammers – whether legal or illegal – is one of the main drivers of hammer violence.

Easy access to automobiles – whether legal or illegal – is one of the main drivers of road rage.
Easy access to gasoline and Styrofoam – whether legal or illegal – is one of the main drivers of arson.

On and on. On and on...On and onnnn....
You missed it, Skippy. The facts slipped right past you, and you ignored them. The fact is that 75% of all mass murders and 80% of all murders are committed with guns.Easy access to knives – whether legal or illegal – is one of the main drivers of knife violence.

Sensible gun control laws are a form of self-defense. They protect us from further gun crime.
