Don't you get it? It's the target and the shooter, not the hardware.

You have a guy hell-bent on a body count, and his target is unarmed, helped people trapped in a building.

Orlando, Sandy Hook, Colorado movie theater, San Bernardino, Virginia Tech, Columbine, South Carolina church... See any pattern there?

Random people trapped in a box. Helpless, unarmed, untrained, surprised, and panicked. At that point, pretty much any gun made in the last 120 years will guarantee a slaughter as long as the shooter is determined and reasonably competent.

But it will motivate people to go to the polls and vote for the damn Republicans despite how enormous an asshole Trump is.

It's not just Trump, it's the down-ticket assholes, too. The ones turning Kansas into a free-market hellhole and Mississippi into a no-abortion zone.
