If all things wouldn't be equal, lets say he had a knife, what wouldn't be different, and most importantly, do you think all the differences in such a scenario would still work out to a busload of kids murdered?
thats the questions you should be asking yourself. Take the immediately accessible weapons out of the mix, and do you really think he would have killed so many people so fast? Do you think he would have even tried?
Do you think he would have settled for just his mother? or maybe just a few people? Any way you slice it, change the weapon, and less people would probably be dead.

No, not any way you slice. It would have been a different situation, a different attack... Pretty much everything would have been different. But if we're debating trivial hypotheticals, what would have happened if Sandy Hook had been a military academy, with soldiers working the front desk? And plenty of people must be learning something at military academies, they've been around for ages.
