@freepeoplesfreepress Not at all, killing people en mass is quite easy and guns are in no way the exception...

Poisons easy to make or obtain can kill entire rooms of people, pipe bombs made from off the shelf materials as well... trucks can and have plowed through masses of people and killed as many or more than many mass shootings, you could buy an old vacuume tube, peel off the shielding, stick it in a bag and kill everyone with radiation in a room (long term agonizing death)...

There are countless ways a person with very little resources or brain power could kill people en mass in ways that are easier than a gun, and much harder to combat... the idea that guns are singularly unique in their ability to kill en masse is simply false.

Now where a gun **is** unique is it is precise. When it is used to kill it is much easier to kill one bad guy in a crowd and leave the good guys unharmed with a gun than any other method. Which is exactly why we need guns...
