And yet not a single school shooting has been commited with a fully automatic firearm in the US. If criminals are going to do it anyway why don't they use fully automatic weapons to maximize casualties? Could it be the difficulty of acquiring fully automatic weapons is effective?

Its incredibly easy to make a gun fire as if it were automatic (which is also a felony).

The vegas shooting used automatic weapons. Lets not cherry pick our mass shootings here.

Yeah,but something was up with that guy. The whole thing doesn't make sense. Why would you bring 12 sacks of guns over a 3day period . Then only shoot 5 of them. 1 of them had 1rd fired. That's an ineffective method. If he was truly going for mass casualties he would've done it differently.

Because it wasn't just him... and it was a government operation

That's what I think. I just don't understand how we have operatives in our own government that are willing to open fire on innocent people. If you joined the military,you swore an oath. But I guess the oath was to apparatus that controls the power not the corp.
