He bump-fired them, for sure. You can do it with a rubberband

fired 98 shots from two handguns in a little more than a minute.

We need to ban guns that carry magazines enough is enough.

The cops say the killer was a MARKSMAN? Talk about grade inflation! He was a CRAP shooter! Let’s be GLAD for his poor skills.

I checked my company e-mail a few hours ago to learn that an attorney of ours had a family member killed by this person — her aunt. God bless her and her aunt and the rest of her family.

The only reason they are talking about this is for another run up to banning magazines, semi auto pistols, and anything else on their list. All of which are irrelevant to what happened. The guy shot and killed a bunch of unarmed defenseless people. It wouldn’t have mattered if he fired 100 rounds a minute or 10, nobody was there to stop him before, during or after.

"Our range people tell us it was over in a minute, a minute and a half. It doesn't take long. Especially, it's our understanding that he was an accomplished marksman."

Sounds like BS to me, if that is the way that they "calculated" how quickly the gunman made his shots. The article mentions the 911 call at 10:30 AM and the police arriving on the scene at 10:33 AM and hearing no shots. The 911 call came in some time after the receptionist was shot, and so even if the first officers on the scene got out of their cars and would have been within earshot (excuse the pun) exactly at 10:33, that probably leaves four minutes or more during which the gunman could have been shooting. Just because he "could have" made all of those shots within a minute and a half doesn't mean that he actually did the shooting that quickly. Yet "98 shots in just over a minute" is the phony "statistic" that the gun haters will quote as if it is fact...

I don’t believe this at all. It depends on how long it took for someone to make the first emergency call.
