Proof gun control works

[Rev. Rye]

Again, Charles Whitman is a pretty good object lesson: he holed himself up in the University of Texas belltower, brought several weapons along, and managed to kill a dozen people (not including the receptionist at the tower, David Gunby, who died 35 years after the incident of causes that are impossible to separate from the shooting, Claire Wilson's unborn son [listed among the fallen on Wikipedia], and his own wife and mother) and injured 31 others in the span of 99 minutes [I'm starting the massacre about three minutes before the common starting point, with the Gabours' shooting] before the cops were able to get to him, and to ensure the cops couldn't find a blind spot to enter the tower, he had multiple weapons stationed in different directions and he went from weapon to weapon, and it worked well enough that, at the time, police assumed there were FOUR snipers instead of one. I can't say I expect something like this to happen with a knife nut.
