Right.

Number dead in recent Florida shooting: 17

Number dead in Virginia Tech shooting where 2 pistols were used: 33

Since when have facts gotten in the way of fee fee's?

Nothing you said was true.

If a handgun is just as effective, why does our military generally use an assault rifle as it main weapon for our soldiers?

We are talking about mass shootings. Handguns and shotguns are far more effective for those types of situations.

You think Steven Paddock could have killed more people (51+) form his hotel room with a handgun or shotgun?

IMO, you're really wrecking your "I'm the KMC gun expert" angle with this.

The vast majority of mass shootings happen at ranges well within those of a handgun or shotgun, the Las Vegas shooting is an outlier. You know this.

Btw, was t the Vegas shooter a lefty nut case as was the Orlando night club shooter and the idiot who shot at congress?

Yet it seems the ones with the higher kill count usually are assault-style rifles as the weapon(s) used. I know the Virginia tech shooting was in the low 30's and that fool used handguns, but that doesn't seem the norm. Orlando shooter was high 40's; that was assault rifle.

Might be worth doing a kill ratio to gun used in 'mass shootings' to see how that holds up.

The Orlando one was so high because it was a nightclub and thus a target rich environment. The LV shooting also happened in a place with a very high concentration of potential victims. Handgun/shotguns would have worked just as well, if not better in the Orlando case.

To bottom line it, in the vast majority of mass shootings handguns/shotguns would have been more effective.

Seems a lot like speculation tbh. While the weapon of choice in the higher death tolls seems to usually be an assault rifle and not a hand or shot gun.

Lol@ MIC, oh leftists...

At least 13 of the top 20 mass shootings(death toll) didn't involve AR type weapons.

Instead of using "common sense" maybe you should use facts.

He's probably a big fan of those common sense gun laws leftists talk about, such as "dude was staring at strangers, get his gun!".

Cool, what where the death counts of each? Cos that's kinda important.

^ if the police didn't react to the complaints and the guy later killed people, Surt would be blaming the cops in not acting on the complaints, as he did recently with the Parkland shooting.

*this is the type of double-faced-dishonestly that Surtur often uses and is called a "massive phaggot" on*
