Unlikely. He had a gun that I'd have no problem restricting ownership with very tight gun laws. But this kid in PA didn't have a gun. I don't know that he'd have killed anyone with a firearm. But you and tec do. How many would he have killed if he had the same type of gun as Lanza? I'm sure you and tec know.
I never said I did know. I would say odds are that more than 0 children would have died.
And I suggest that driving a car into a crowd standing outside would have produced a higher chance of fatalities than a knife.
OK. I'm not sure how it's relevant. He had a knife and went inside a school.
He sure did. Why are we discussing guns, cars and the potential of fatalities if those were his weapons of choice?
The topic of the conversation was comparing knives to guns. See: "Maybe the Problem Isn't Guns After All"
If lives were saved because this kid had difficulty finding a gun because of gun control laws, that's a good thing.
