You probably won't read the article I just posted about the Washington Navy Yard mass shooting. The article cited stated that the killer cut down the barrel and stock of a shot gun, disassembled it and stuck it in a shoulder bag. He then went into a bathroom in the navy yard, assembled it and murdered 12 people. Easy to get, use, and transport, wasn't that what you said?
What other kinds of weapons that can cause mass casualties are hard to get? 12 gauge shotguns are available in nearly all gun shops and are no harder to obtain than a rifle. The murderer in the medical clinic incident being discussed used a "blow out both lungs" 9mm semiauto pistol, not a so-called assault rifle.
