assault rifles. It doesn't matter what happened, the NRA rules state, no discussion for at least 5 days after an event. You will not hear from them or those that support them for at least 5 days. It is what the NRA did in the past, will do now, and will always do...k and r.

There are a lot of ways to kill the people in that church. He could've just blocked off the fire escapes and set the place on fire with Molotovs or something. Didn't some guy in NYC recently prove that you don't need a gun to conduct random carnage?
