Look....

No anti-RKBA person is seriously suggesting that the gun CAUSED this crime. I don't think that anybody is even seriously suggesting that the absence of a gun would have definitely prevented this from happenning - if someone is absolutely determined to kill a whole bunch of people, then they'll find a way to do it.

So what's the point?......Well, having a gun made this massacre trivially easy. If there had been no access to a gun, the perpetrator would have needed to spend time and effort to create the same effect.

Guns are a uniquely convenient tool for wreaking wholesale death and injury. I cannot understand why the pro-RKBA crowd often refuse to acknowledge it. Of COURSE, he could have used another weapon - name ONE that is as easy to acquire, use, conceal, transport, which has an equal capacity for killing, is similarly accurate,is as difficult to avoid or defend against and which has no other intrinsic purpose outside of killing.
