I'm getting so tired of right wingers telling me I need to educate myself on guns in order to have an opinion on gun legislation. I don't care anything about learning about those awful killing machines any more than I care about learning about medieval torture devices. I couldn't care less what the difference is between a semi-automatic and an automatic or what the difference between the Child Killer 6000 and the Arab Impaler 7500 guns. Honestly, what does it matter?
Haven't we gone too far when we can own weapons that kill 50 people?
If Omar Mateen had had one of those guns that go POW! click-click POW! click-click POW! could he have killed 50 people? Could Adam Lanza have shot a classroom full of children with a gun like that?
The kind of guns that go ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta and fire lots of bullets really quickly need to go. You don't need it to hunt and you don't need it to defend your home. These guns are for killing and should not be in the possession of civilians!
We liberal's lack of knowledge of guns is just a red herring.

Nonetheless the AR-15 was designed specifically for military use--meaning killing numerous people. IMO: I do not see anyone in the civilian life needing that kind of firepower.Because without knowing what you are talking about you look like an idiot. The AR-15 used doesn't go ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta it goes pow pow pow every time you pull the trigger just like any other legal rifle or hand gun. So to answer your own question yes if Omar Mateen had had one of those guns that go pow pow pow he could have killed 50 people and he did.
If it is any handgun or shotgun that I own he would definitely need to reload. And I doubt if he could have killed 50 people with a box cutter without people at that place jumping him and taking him down.He could have done that with a hand gun too or even a shotgun. He had the hostages for several hours, he could have killed them all with a box cutter.

the original Armalite AR15 prototype was yes. but it was designed to be select-fire which means it had a switch to switch it to fully automatic. However that never panned out and they sold out to Colt.
Colt produced and AR15 which was 'not' designed for military use it was designed for semiautomatic civilian use and its been that way since 1963.
as to the handgun, you can buy two handguns with 17 round magazines for slightly less than you can buy one AR15 with a 30 round magazine. and the handguns have a larger caliber. so yes he could have actually killed more people with the handguns.

No it's not.
I think you need to grasp the fact the founding fathers were concerned enough about individual rights, they made sure to protect them from individuals and groups who think like you. The fact the rights involved on this issue were the second most important matter they addressed should signal something to people.
Some are anxious to ignore this fact.
