[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An AR-15 magazine holds 30 rounds. There are many handguns with similar capacity. But even handguns with 1/2 that capacity can be reloaded quicker than an AR. Its actually significantly easier to reload a handgun than an AR. It's also easier to conceal. [b]The AR just looks and sounds scarier.[/b] Be very thankful USPSA open pistol competition shooters are law abiding.[/quote]

There you have it.  That's what makes it a weapon of terror.  One could do the same kind of damage with a far more mundane looking Remington semi-auto rifle but as we all know the extremists and wackjobs gravitate to the AR-15s because it replicates what they see in action flicks.  It looks scary.  So, the nutjobs, whether guys like the Orlando shooter, or the Newtown shooter, or the Aurora shooter, and all of the latent psychopathic kooks out there among the Tea Party "militia" movement - they go out and buy the AR, think they're Rambo, think they can take anyone on and settle any score and voila.  Instant toxic stew.

As for the rest, no not "many" handguns hold 30 rounds, most have far smaller capacity and as for the difference between a handgun versus a rifle, it's about  the tradeoff made between close quarters maneuverability and portability versus longer distance shooting and accuracy.[/quote]
