In reply to the discussion: Man opens fire in two daycares; kills self, children safe [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)18. I'm thrilled that no children were apparently shot.
And I don't have any idea what kind of weapon was used. You seem to want to make a big deal out of that, not sure why.
For all we know, he had one. (Or one of the shooters, now sounds like two)
Not really sure what you are playing at here.
Edit: I see it is reported as a shotgun now. Doesn't really explain why no one else was hurt, unless you assume that his intention was to attack a specific person, and not to attack the children. Which gets back to my point earlier about intent. If he had wanted to, an individual with a shotgun can do tremendous damage in that environment, if they wanted to. So maybe dial the snark back a notch, eh?

Arm the toddlers. Harden the nurseries. More and bigger guns are always the answer.

The more frequent contemporary usage is acceptable - an exception doesn't disprove the norm.
