Fighter jets have been supersonic for at least 60 years, why would they put that in the title?

Makes it sound cooler and scarier. >

Like when they put semiautomatic in the title >

Semi automatic is scary, though.
Automatic and semi automatic guns didn’t exist until the 1880s. Like a century after the second amendment was written. 
You can still hunt and all that kinda shit with a bolt action rifle. But it’s a lot harder to get off enough shots to kill a classroom filled with kids. 
You know it’s true. >

The second amendment wasn't about hunting. >

I bet it wasn’t about killing schoolkids either >

As some other countries showed last year, you don't need a gun to do that. >

It’s certainly a lot harder, and less effective, without a gun. >

I would argue the opposite actually.. if a lunatics' goal is to harm as many people as possible then a gun even a fully automatic or full-on belt-fed is not the most effective tool for that. It Is simply the first tool people think of to use.  
The train of thought is not a reassuring one but I'm fairly sure those people who wish to harm will find a way to do so even if you remove all obvious tools and when they do.. I have a bad feeling it will be way worse.
I think we should shift towards a more secure school setup and maybe focus on mental health in this country. 
Deny access to those who would do harm at all.   Spend Time looking for issues that can become threats instead of worrying about what weapon they may chose. >

I sincerely disagree. Guns are easy violence, that’s the simple truth, and the point being made.
I live in a country that brought in reasonable gun control laws after a horrid shooting massacre, decades ago, without a single mass shooting event since. It’s been fantastic. We’ve had some people try using cars, or knives, and those events have been horrible, but relatively minor to any gun events that occur so frequently in the US.
Why? Because guns are easy. And most people in an unsettled frame of mind who seek violence as a means of expression will go with easy violence.
I’m not American. And trust me, looking in from the outside, I think your country’s obsession with guns is madness.
We have gun control, but it’s reasonable; I have a few friends who own guns, go hunting on weekends, visit shooting ranges, etc and they don’t complain, they enjoy their hobby. 
Americans like yourself are kinda weird. Sorry to say, and I’m sure you’re a great person otherwise. But yeah, it’s weird.
