Those hand guns have clips that hold between 9 and 17 rounds. And even the 17 round clip for a Glock is a special type clip not readily available. He also had a high powered rifle (I read this as deer type rifle) which he did not bring into the school. He may have had those extra round clips, I don't know or have not seen those details in anything I have read.

This is just an honest question about the direction this discussion has taken. Maybe I missed something in the reading and what has been reported.

This was a terrible tragedy and we should make sure we have the facts before we go off on tangents that are not relevant.
I know nothing about guns, but I believe the coroner that did the autopsy on some of these children, said they all died after being hit several times by semi-automatic weapons at close range.
