Interesting point... Of course you know the FBI definition of 'mass
shooting?' Before you look it up, think in YOUR mind what the term
makes you think of...

I don't know about case law, but it's NOT illegal to construct your
own firearm for your use. Not to sell, by any means, but for you
to make one. Now owning a firearm if you're otherwise illegal to do
so (convicted felon, etc.) is a seperate crime.

In my mind it is when the shooter may have a specific target or two in
mind but then shoots multiple persons beyond his target, or when someone
just shoots indescriminantly into a crowd/building, etc., without any
specific target and shoots multiple persons.

However, in many recent lists, the press (and BBS posters) have included at
least one school shooting where the kid shot the two people he apparently
meant to, and no one else, despite having opportunity to do so.

I don't know the FBI's definition, but apparently the press / non-2A
definition is more than one person shot.
