High-powered rifles such as the AR-15 can be fired more than twice as fast as most handguns. The standard magazine for an AR-15 holds 30 rounds, allowing a shooter to continue firing uninterrupted for longer, making the weapon more lethal than other firearms, though clearly the use of any gun can be deadly, especially a shotgun at close range.”

The Stupid!! It Burns!

The real translation of the headline is that they're trying to salvage at least some of the gun control narrative, since the guns that were used have been around for well over a hundred years, and LOTS of people own them.

The "cute" part of the paragraph above is saying that an AR 15 can be fired twice as fast as most handguns. Complete, total, utter ignorance. Generally, with almost no exceptions, semi-autos can be fired with equal rapidity, despite barrel length.

And I have watched the quick draw experts fire off 6 rounds in the blink of an eye, and All of them Perfect Shots, from a Revolver!!!!
