I have every right to use the term WMD to describe any weapon that can kill a mass of people in one single action. Killing 15-16 people is a mass of people.

Your fucking nit-picking every damn phrase and every fucking feature of a gun just shows you to be nothing more than an asshole.

If your kid was in that damn classroom, you would call that fucking gun a WMD.

You fucking asshat.
