Slow Police Response and Chaos Contributed to Parkland Massacre, Report Finds

You cannot say with any certainty "these 17 people wouldn't be dead" if the murderer used other means.

The killer walked through a 3 story building over a period of 6 minutes killing 17 people. If he had been in a car, he would not have been able to kill people within the school due to a school being a structure. I can say for certain that a car could not drive into a school building with enough force to kill people on the second and third floor.

we're lucky more kids don't try the bomb route, way more deadly and easier to get/make.

To quote you "you're flat out wrong", I don't think there's more than one case of "kids" building bombs and then using them successfully to blow up students in a school. Columbine they constructed 99 bombs and very small percentage of them went off, and none of them killed anyone.

The Stoneman Douglas killer bought his gun at a local store. How is it easier to buy a fully functioning weapon made by professional craftsmen then it is to buy parts for and learn how to make a bomb?
