Duckworth: Death Toll from Uvalde Shooting Would Be Lower if Shooter Had Handgun Instead of Two AR-15s

Ian Hanchett 26 May 2022

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) pushed for restoring the ban on assault weapons and banning high-capacity magazines by claiming that if the school shooter in Uvalde, TX “didn’t have two AR-15s, but had a single handgun because he couldn’t get his hands on two assault weapons at the age of 18,” “then we wouldn’t have the high death rates” in the shooting that we do.

Duckworth stated, “95% of Americans, including hunters and outdoorsmen and Republicans and even MAGA Republicans, some of them, support universal background checks. This is not about the camel’s nose under the tent, Chris. This is about politicians who care more about a check, a payday, a payoff from gun manufacturers than they do dead babies. That’s the bottom line here. … We’re talking about getting rid of the assault weapon — restoring the ban. We’re talking about getting rid of high-capacity magazines. If that shooter got into that room full of little babies and didn’t have two AR-15s, but had a single handgun because he couldn’t get his hands on two assault weapons at the age of 18, then we wouldn’t have the high death rates that we do today. There’s a lot that we can do right away, and frankly, my colleagues care more about a check in their account than they do about babies being killed while they’re supposed to be at school.”

Pretty ironic to hear an abortion supporter crying about babies killed.

Duckworth is a typical lying DCP disciple that has absolutely no clue what she's talking about. The kind of weapon the attacker had didn't make a difference. He actually could have done more damage with a pair of handguns. Again the stupid politicians don't want to face the fact that GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.

[Kamaji]

That's going to be a very difficult counter-factual to prove.

[Cyber Liberty]

So here's the solution Duckworth can get behind:  Issue every High School Graduate a .38 Special revolver.

[yodaspock]

Like Duckbreath would even know what Ar-15 is.

[GtHawk]

That's just asinine, If he had a pistol with multiple hi capacity mags killing 21 and many more very quickly in close quarters would be maybe even easier than a rifle. This idiot is trying to equate a handgun with a revolver in ignorant peoples minds.

The shooter basically had the whole day to do his killing, so he would have been just as productive no matter what firearm he had.

Exactly.

[mountaineer]

He could have killed as many with a few sticks of dynamite, actually, Tammy. No AR-15 needed.

Or black powder inside a length of metal pipe.

Like Bath MI in 1927.

Tammy duck f, we wouldn't be having gun slaughter at all if woke democrats were not so damn desperate for generations to force gun control oh Americans to enslave Americans.  If only your party of democrat socialist did not follow you german counterparts so closely of last century.  Like last century, you are certain to hyperventilate and wet your panties to prove you right, speak peace, react with violence and hate-outrage.  Study hell, so you will be prepared.

[Free Vulcan]

Nice tricky dicky switcharooney there Tammy, but let's consider 2 handguns to make it an equal analogy. The same damage could be done just as quickly.

The Dems can do all the hollering they want, but at the end of the day all they want to do is take guns from law abiding citizens.

Don't even need high capacity magazines. Quite a few 9mm pistols have 15rd mags standard.

The shooter basically had the whole day to do his killing, so he would have been just as productive no matter what firearm he had.

With the time he had, he could have used a hammer (I am not suggesting anyone do that).

[Hoodat]

The shooter had one AR-15, not two.

[christian]

Believing the steady diet of lies we have been fed by politicians has gotten us to where we are at now.  How about making some serious efforts now in reversing what so many of you were glad to empower and strengthen?

The shooter wouldn't have killed anyone in the school if the teacher didn't prop the door open that the shooter used to get in the school.

Maybe and maybe not. He would have just found another way in. Maybe Duckworth can explain how schools are a gun free zone and how well did that work out. DCP disciples are idiots with no true answers.
