What If the Tsarnaevs Had Been the “Boston Shooters”?

[BethanyQuartz]

1. Several issues with the scenario

They wouldn't have escaped if they had shot up the place and they would perhaps have been far more reluctant to carry out the attack knowing that it would be their first and last.

It would have been difficult to get an assault rifle past the security that exists at these big races in the first place. You can make an argument that at a smaller race with less security it could be done and would have probably resulted in more deaths, I concede that one.

If no one noticed them making bombs even though they were on terrorist watch lists it's likely that stricter gun laws wouldn't have stopped them from getting guns, either.
