Kevin Williamson and National Review would rather nitpick over the relative violence of weapons of war than actually acknowledge the mass murder of school children with such guns.
Williamson took issue with an illustrative figure I offered in a recent Slate article comparing the lethality of today’s semi-automatic high-velocity weapons with Revolutionary era muskets. In that article I suggested that today’s weapons were 200 times more deadly, a claim that would be hard to document in a rigorously scientific fashion and that I offered as a guesstimate based on an extrapolation from ancentury muskets.
today, so in some sense the number 200 that I offered does not even begin to quantify the magnitude of the potential carnage that modern weapons can cause in a school setting.
