   You still didn't understand... I'm speaking more about ballistics and   
   the plan for the battlefield, the military also has snipers that use   
   50cal bolt and semi-auto 50cal for one shot one kill... but they use   
   the .223 for "pacifying the enemy" so they're too busy cleaning up the   
   mess from the spray of bullets and all the injured people to attack in   
   mass numbers. and when it turns to single bombers and the like the   
   Sniper with a 50cal takes the lead from a distance to instantly stop the   
   threat by instant death regardless of body armor or walls or anything   
   they can see a thermal image through. They are very different guns with   
   very different uses and purposes.

   They tend to shoot at targets NOT crowds... but the asshole in Vegas   
   was shooting into a crowd.... and I hear that his guns were having   
   problems where they jammed or other things caused him to switch to   
   another gun. SO NO my goal posts didn't change. How many guns can you   
   carry? This guy set up in a hotel room, NOT your typical shooting spree   
   to barricade in a room alone.... where you hauled in mass amounts of   
   guns and ammo. And the proof I'm right is that he used .223 in Vegas   
   which isn't what someone sniping would do and what he did was to injure   
   people and spray the area with bullets NOT kill, because using a .223   
   where he couldn't aim at each target at that distance accurately with a   
   BUMP STOCK means he was going to just hope he hit people and create   
   chaos and panic and fear...

   And how is that a bad thing? the kids had no defensive capabilities they   
   trusted you and the police to keep them safe... because you and the   
   police don't have armed security people in the schools who could   
   confront the killer. Shouldn't you be there just as you're there   
   protecting the Congressional gun confiscation cowards like AOC?   
      
   Your plan is to let the mentally ill people carry guns into the school,
