These i***ts do not understand a shotgun, with the right ammunition, can cause more damage than an AR-15.
You are to a certain extent right. However the recoil from buckshot loads in a 12 gauge shotgun along with the time it takes to reload means far fewer people can use it effectively to commit mass slaughter. An AR-15 has light recoil, is compact and a lunatic can carry an enormous amount of ammunition in magazines and quickly reload. With five minutes of direction a child could learn to use it to gun down dozens.
