When I first heard that there were only a few wounded and most were DOA, I thought that he must have used the handguns since a .223 is designed to wound and not kill (wounded soldiers require a lot of support, thus depleting the enemy’s ability to fight).
Now it makes sense - the .223 did not kill easily — it took 3-11 shots to kill each small child.
If the killer had used a shotgun or a handgun, it would have been one shot each.
In some odd way, he used the least lethal weapon he had access to. And at 30 rounds per clip, he was changing clips pretty often.
I am starting to think that we should have more aggressive registration of the mentally ill, not guns.
What makes me so sad about this is that the poor babies suffered first.
