Not sure if this was part of your 'satirical' post, but it's wrong nonetheless.
Not sure if this story made it over the pond, but back in 2012 a deranged psycho brought an assault rifle with a high capacity magazine into a movie theater filled to capacity. He had some kind of teargas, or smoke grenades, a shotgun, and head to toe body armor. He literally had everyone in that theater trapped as the only exits were behind him.
He shot 90 people. 11 died.
The van attack in Barcelona.....on an open sidewalk.....killed 13, and injured 130 more.
I realize it's just two examples, but this demonstrates how much more devastating the vehicle attack can be.
I'm not expert on the subject of weaponry, but I do remember learning that weapons of war, like assault rifles, take bullets that are designed to shoot through a person. So bullet goes in, bullet goes out, soldier is hurt and can't fight. But his chances of living are pretty high if the bullet doesn't hit a major organ or artery.
A speeding vehicle is a much greater threat to a crowd than an armed gunman.
