Guilty! I can't help myself -- I am burdened with requiring facts and from them, derive a rational opinion. I recognize it prevents me from intuitively reaching for the stars, unbound by reason, logic or even facts. Here I plod in Real World. Where my opinion must adequately explain facts, not vice versa.
I haven't found comparative mass slaughter data. Maybe we can imagine what it should be and go from there.

Dude: the topic of the day is one twit rapidly bringing about the deaths of a bunch of people. I'm more OK with him punching a teacher or slashing at a couple of people with a knife. But at some point, we have to ask how much horsepower in killing capacity do we want people to possess or brandish with impunity? I suspect we'll not soon see former prison gang denizens driving about the streets with Somali style technicals.
