This is also a (fortunately) rare mode of attack in the US.
I don’t want people to be shocked that anyone can buy and use a “sniper rifle”, because these are the same rifles you’d use for target shooting or big game.
What I actually want folks to focus on is semi-auto rifles with detachable magazines and a pistol grip, because that is what is used to kill everyone in a theater, school, or race crowd. That is common and horrifying.
