Pistols are the desired weapons for those school shootings. Desired weapons for any place. A fully auto is very hard to control, and hard to learn how to properly use

Signs that say "Gun Free Zones" are the desired weapon for those that want to commit mass shooting. Most causalities with least amount of resistance. How many mass shooting occur at police stations?
No guns are allowed at a School, but people bring them. None at airports, but people bring them.
And I do agree that there are not much shootings around a Police station, because that is stupid. The shooter won't get far. But in a school where there are children around? Oh, that is where they can flourish. And the saddest part is that they do.
But, I won't do this argument. Because I think the amount of gun deaths upon children is minimal. I am sure there were more deaths caused in the middle ages upon children than now.
But, when you pair us up with any other nation, and then view our murder rates, we rank top place.
FBI wrote:The estimated number of murders in the nation was 15,696.
During the year, there were an estimated 90,185 rapes. (This figure currently reflects UCR’s legacy definition. Learn more about the revised rape definition.)
There were an estimated 327,374 robberies nationwide, which accounted for an estimated $390 million in losses (average dollar value of stolen property per reported robbery was $1,190).
Firearms were used in 71.5 percent of the nation’s murders, 40.8 percent of robberies, and 24.2 percent of aggravated assaults.Property crimes resulted in losses estimated at $14.3 billion. The total value of reported stolen property (i.e., currency, jewelry, motor vehicles, electronics, firearms) was $12,420,364,454.

No country with guns banned even goes near these rates. And these ignorant gun nuts still go behind this argument that has no backing "Oh, if we don't have guns then someone will and they will kill our families and we can't defend ourselves."
Well, lets put that logic in countries like Japan, UK.
And UK? It is almost nothing.
It is amazing how countries like China which have a population over 4 times the size of ours only has 3% more deaths than the US.
China yearly Deaths: 13,410
US yearly Deaths: 12,996

But as I view it. It is a cultural dilemma that some argue the price of having a gun is the price worth paid if it leads to all these troubles.
