#2 The Vogue US Releases Its Thickest Magazine Issue Ever: 916 Pages. September 2012

#3  In my estimation, it would have taken two riflemen to slow the shooter down and four to stop the shooting altogether.
IIRC, something very much like that happened during the Texas Tower shooting of 1 Aug 1966. A student gave his rifle to a local cop who showed up with only a handgun. Some civilians living nearby took their hunting rifles down from their mantels and started shooting back from ground level. A four man team got to the top of the tower, went through to dead & wounded there to kill the shooter. They themselves were in danger from being shot by return fire from below the tower. Years passed before the bullet marks at the top were repaired.

#6 And not to forget the CDC finding that over 100,000 patients die in hospitals every year due to negligence. I'm not sure if that figure included the government's own VA.

#8 He used rifles, so let's ban rifled barrels. He used long guns, so lets ban them. He used bullets lets ban them. He used ...

You see where I'm going with this?
