5 common misconceptions about guns and mass shootings
I thought I'd post this here just because it is worth looking at just to see a guy fire 12 aimed rounds from a revolver in 3 seconds. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it:

The Glock and shotgun shooters are pretty impressive, too.
And the facts are worth knowing, too.

Mikulek was impressive. I never thought a revolver could be reloaded that fast either. Just imagine with a 686plus (7 rounds in the cylinder) and a couple more speedloaders.

I wonder how many people those politicians wanted to kill because they were holding those guns?

Banning one type of firearm will not stop the mentally disturbed, in 1967 at Shell Sask. A madman went on a shooting spree killing nine family members
Crown prosecutor Serge Kujawa called Victor Hoffman "the craziest man in Saskatchewan”
He had been released from a mental hospital just three weeks before the murders. His weapon of choice was a Browning pump action .22, 28 shots were fired 27 were on target that means he had to reload a tube magazine at least twice.

I see that he was also a mental patient.
Does the MSM twig to that common factor in many of these cases? Nope. They only look for black guns. If the .22 he used had been black, would it now be on the Prohib. list? Probably.

The common denominator in 99% of spree shootings is mental illness not firearms. Treat the mentally ill and make firearm owners responsible to keep firearms out of their reach.

So what this really shows is how Joe public will never be a world record holder with a revolver . But if he gets a semi auto he can shoot just as fast lol. The list of mass killings with out firearms really makes me wonder what is wrong with our selves. Sad state of affairs.
