Guns

There is no doubt that guns do not kill people. Individuals kill people. However, the unrestricted purchase of guns from revolvers to military assault rifles enables anyone to kill many people with relative ease.

The AR-15 can deliver 13 rounds per second, which permits many casualties in a short time. It is also very impersonal and easy to use, very similar to a video game.

Could the assassin in the Orlando mass shooting have injured as many people if he only had two heavy skillets to use?
