Go figure; a mass killing prior to the introduction of firearms.
- coldtea 11y agoThe snark would be relevant if people argued that mass killings didn't occur before the introduction of firearms -- as opposed to arguing that mass shootings didn't occur... Or perhaps it's not obvious enough that this ancient mass killing didn't happen by a single guy armed with some bone shaped into an axe or something, but it was something a large group of people did to another (e.g. hostages caught in a war). One would think that a 16-year old kid trying to mass kill his school mates with a knife would not get very far... (Or one could just check the homicide and mass shooting rates in ANY western country with a ban on private firearms and see that they are many times smaller).
