Another fallacy that gets old is; These shooters could not have killed so many if they did not have "assault" rifles and 30 round magazines. that is total nonsense. Virginia Tech, 30 dead in 11 minutes, 174 rounds fired at 15 rounds per minute Newtown, 26 dead in 9 minutes, 154 rounds fired at 15 rounds per minute Columbine, 13 dead in 47 minutes, 188 rounds fired at 4 rounds per minute source: Michael Martin from USCCA Stoneman Douglas, 17 dead in 9 minutes That rate of fire could come from a Civil War issued Henry Rifle.
