Since we're morbidly talking about the death toll of a single person firing into a crowd...
Shall we talk about Waco? Where the Government, using guns, armored vehicles and fire, killed 82 people over the course of 51 days.
You know, the Government that gun-control people think should have all the guns?
They used guns to make a warrant service no-knock assault, then used guns and armored vehicles to keep anyone from leaving.
Now, shall we talk about Oklahoma City? Where a handful of people made a bomb out of commonly available fertilizer and diesel fuel, loaded it into a rental truck and killed 168 people without a single firearm.
To date we have not banned rental trucks, fertilizer or diesel fuel. We didn't even seriously discuss banning those things.
Why do I bring these things up together?
Because they are linked. The Oklahoma Bombing was because a handful of people got so upset at the entire fiasco of The Waco Siege, they felt they needed to go-a-murderin'!
The second event really doesn't happen without the first one.
They are also related in that they killed more people than Las Vegas.
I am not saying that OKC was justified by Waco, but there is a causal relationship here.
