Besides, most of the weapons used in school shootings are simple pistols, shotguns, and hunting rifles that were even more readily available in 1960 than they are now.
yes they were, but for some reason the OP decided to throw the 1950's in for their comparison

The explosion in school shootings didn't occur until after Columbine in 1996.


The attention given to the killers was key imo

It's a legit question since you are blaming the AR15 as the boogeyman just like every other idiot does.
i've not once painted the AR15 to be the boogieman. you ammosexuals just assume anybody that doesn't metaphorically blow the second amendment hates guns

No one is building a straw man against you. They are pointing out how ignorant you are is all. No straw man needed for that as you do a good job building that case on your own.

The fact that you can't answer his questions or mine shows you have no idea what you are talking about and should just exit this thread.

You can't even make up your own mind what your position is. First you say the majority of weapons today weren't around in the 60s then agree with someone who says the opposite.

Yep! Now every little neglected, picked-on, pimple wants to be a legend.

Some grow out of it and some are consumed by it.

the counter to my point was 2 anecdotes.

both of said anecdotes being guns created in the 2nd of the two decades mentioned in the OP

So no kids had access to rifles in the 50s. Got it.

You still have failed to answer any questions asked of you which tells me you know your argument was BS from the beginning.

Correct. Sometimes the dumbest have the strongest opinions.

FMJ .223:
Weight 55 grains.
Muz energy 1099 ft. lbs.
Muz vel 3000 ft./sec.

FMJ .30-06:
Weight 150 grains.
Muz energy 2970 ft. lbs.
Muz vel 3000 ft./sec.

'06 is heavier with more knock-down power, larger round than a .223. Louder and kicks more too. For larger game.

Continue to ignore my questions because you know answering them will show your ignorance.

i figured when i mentioned my "Lack there of" in regards to ammunition knowledge, you'd have been able to deduce i'm not an ammosexual

but i've been known to give knuckle-dragers too much credit
