Interesting, given any of my shotguns would be more lethal.
Its fun how there's no mention that the rounds fired from the ar15 platform were designed specifically not to kill.

Even though I knew that fact, I've never actually connected it to the shootings for some reason. I've even explained to people how a single round can take 2 to 3 people out of the fight. That's the phenomenon of the media I guess. Thanks for pointing it out.

Excluding the las Vegas and pulse night club shootings because of target density, third through eighth highest body counts were hand guns. Successful mass shooters use pistols.

As evidenced by more thorough responses, the question is false. Nice try.

For a mass shooting, like a school, a shotgun is a better choice.
Less chance of self-dying via a ricochet bullet.

I think that’s true.

Because it's what they see in the movies and combat videos of what the Marines use.

That argument doesn't hold up in the face of prices.
