Impossible.

The evil gun must have jumped from his hands and proceeded to shoot everyone in sight.

The delay in reporting is b/c the Sheriffs haven’t moved in yet.

It’s refreshing to see the term “style” versus the overused “platform”. Ever heard of a bolt action platform, lever action platform and etc. “Platform be gone! OT apologies.

How about the term pattern? As in an AR/AK/M1a pattern rifle.

I’ve heard that term too.

Some judiciously applied shots would prevent future knife attacks by the perp.

All rifles and pistols are the same. They have a barrel that a bullet comes out of. Just because of what is wrapped around the barrel that makes it scary looking to liberals / socialists. It is scary to them because guns stop the liberals / socialists from lining you up in a field and killing you... with guns.
