    Default The Question No One here Wants to Ask

    Did the new mag laws change the gun of choice in this latest shooting? He could have bought any long gun he wanted, but chose the shotgun. Maybe it was just a cost thing, really who knows. Even though he chose what he did I don't think the outcome would have been any different.

    Thoughts?

    My guess would be cost and ease of understanding is why the shotgun was chosen

    Agreed. He was 18 so probablt didn't have a ton of coin. Plus, who cares what you buy if you are just going to off yourself for the greater good anyway?

    I'd go with cost being the deciding factor. Even if you only had a smaller number of rounds available due to the mag laws I still see a semi-auto mag fed being the preferred choice.

    ETA:
    His going after a specific target may also have been a factor. Don't need a full mag to get one person (though it cannot hurt).

    Nope, it was reported that he felt current gun laws weren't stringent enough.

    I guess that is why DOW was there because they are used to duck hunters and their "Arsenals."

    You must have watched Faux 31 news, they kept saying "The shooter was armed with an arsenal, he had a shotgun, a machete and 3 homemade explosive devices"....... And the station repeated that continually.
