    As an American you are no doubt some fat, ugly overweight child with a penchant for running a machine gun up and down your local school.

    You, sir, are obviously an idiot. The weapon of choice for rampaging through public high schools is the semi-automatic handgun. Its small size makes it easy to conceal under clothing or in a bag or backpack. Weapons that fire 9mm rounds present a good compromise between power and magazine capacity, but for real effectiveness against targets at close range, go for the .45.

    What a moron.
