Non-Firearm Mass Murder

As Clayton Cramer documents, the worst mass murders in history haven’t been committed with firearms, but with fire. But I guess it’s hard for some people to get worked up over easy access to matches and gasoline, so the media only focuses on mass killing where a gun is used.

Also see these accounts of non-firearm mass murder, via Instapundit.

   Actually, in recent history. Of course, the biggest mass murder since I wrote that paper involved box cutters and airplanes.

     Word. And don’t forget what kind of gun Tim Mcveigh used…none.
