They were able to purchase guns that were extremely functionally similar to the AR-15 since the end of WW2 in the form of the M1 carbine. They were cheaply available as surplus for quite awhile. The difference between the two is mostly in weight and ability to penetrate armor and barriers effectively
Would we? That still leaves a lot of weapon types open for business.
Crossbows are just guns that run on springs instead of gunpowder.
Gotta imagine there’d be a lot less mass murders at school if we taught the kiddos to assume the Testudo in response to one crazy with a sword.
I mean, maybe we should address the root cause rather than just assume school murders will always happen.
They didn’t used to happen. And US civilians have been able to purchase the AR-15 since the 60s. Then Columbine happened.
School shootings happened long before Columbine. They have, however, accelerated over the last decade to incredible levels.

You’re right. We need to ban sticks and rocks immediately!
I was thinking chemical weapons, but okay.
You’re right, farts are banned immediately!
Good idea, you have my vote.
What about fists? Anyone can make one and throw it without any license
A terrifying thought.
