#1 And here I thought four airliners were the weapon of choice for mass murder. That's now officially in the Memory Hole(tm).

#2 Most gun shows have banned parking lot sales. The vendors inside pay a lot for their spaces and voiced opposition to those sales. The Virginia Tech shooter used hand guns. Try buying a fully automatic weapon at a gun show.

#6 communism is the weapon of choice for mass murders.

I would argue Communism as a subset of totalitarianism, Darth Vader. Nazi fascism is merely a type of socialism. Muslim jihadism is neither, but is totalitarian, and would have killed considerably more had Mohammed and his followers had modern weapons to kill with and modern population numbers to kill.

#7 They managed to kill considerably more people than Communism & Nazism together. It just took them time, TW.

#8 Mark Levin calls all of them Statism - where the 'State' is paramount. Weather the state be Nazi, Communist, Islamic, whatever.

As for the gunshow loophole and 'automatic weapons':

#9 I remember that time the journalist found an AR-15 Assault Shotgun in a guy's trunk.

It is like the gun Ripley used at the end of Aliens, except with a larger flamethrower and tactical folding bayonet lug.
