And thus get the maximum media coverage (NOT just local news) that sends shock waves throughout all of society and maximizes the emotions of TERROR.
Churches and school classrooms and ALL large sports or music events are the targets of these predators seeking headlines. They are looking for more recognition than MERELY 5 killed in a driveby with pistols. On the many parts of the dark web, it is the military AR-15-style RIFLE that is worshipped and put up on its diabolical pedestal - these people don't want to kill ONLY 5 people - they need dozens of victims to satisfy their dark egos. The mundane pistol is not weapon ENOUGH for their insane ambitions. Plus, it puts them too close to their victims - they want DISTANCE for more efficiency and cover and the illusion that they MIGHT get away with it.

Suggestion. Don't create a Master Class on Snipers or Mass Shooters.
The Mundane Pistol
In 2007 the Virginia Tech shooting resulted in 32 killed and 23 injured. The shooter used a pistol.
In 1991 the Luby's shooting in Killeen, Texas resulted in 23 killed and 27 injured. The shooter used a pistol.
2009 Fort Hood shooting resulted in 14 killed and 32 injured. The shooter used two pistols, a semiautomatic and a revolver.
1986 Edmund Post Office shooting resulted in 14 killed and 6 injured. The shooter used a pistol.
I could go on and on. It's public information.
Semi-automatic Rifles
The semi-automatic rifle was invented in 1885. Over the past 137 years we have had 7 mass shooting events as you described with 20 or more killed.
The facts clearly show that mass murderers are NOT choosing to be a great distance from the victims to demonstrate their sniper skills. The hunt in gun free zones and are ambush hunters cutting down their victims up close and personal. It seems the MSM is more effective of creating panic than the AR is.
