those 12 would be dead even if he used a pencil or a rock.
I doubt it, the guy was 61, without a gun he would have been overpowered and stopped when he attacked on the high street. There's nothing particularly wrong with guns but for a portability + ease of use to killing ratio they're pretty high pretty unbeatable especially if someone lacks physicality.

I have not made any statement on gun control on this thread.
And so far, I have not read of any shock or sadness over the fact that 12 people are dead.

I know it's aggravating when your thread turns into something unwanted, but this type of statements are always irritating:
... because if we don't type it onto this site, surely we must not actually feel it!
I am saddened anytime someone is killed. Honestly, that should go unsaid...
You often post a link without any commentary as to how you would like it to be discussed so it can go anywhere, that's the beauty and frustration of FYM.
on the other hand i find it quite irritating that this was bought up and the first five or six posts had nothing to do with the shocking nature of what happened, but the good ol' guns or no guns argument.
Deadly shootings are rare in Britain, where gun ownership is tightly restricted. In recent years, there have been fewer than 100 gun murders annually across the country.
Rules on gun ownership were tightened after two massacres in the 1980s and 1990s. In 1987, gun enthusiast Michael Ryan killed 16 people in the English town of Hungerford. In 1996, Thomas Hamilton killed 16 children and a teacher at a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland.
About 600,000 people in Britain legally own a shotgun, most of them farmers and hunters in rural areas. Witnesses described Bird as using a shotgun or a rifle.
