I still think that’s the most likely explanation for how he managed to shoot so many people, so fast.

Have you never shot an AR-15? A decent rifleman can fire one rapidly.

But that isn't the point. HE SHOT SO MANY PEOPLE SO FAST BECAUSE THEY WERE PACKED INTO A CROWD. He probably got 2 people for every bullet. At least.

And by the way, regardless of what criminals do, I am keeping my AR-15's. Mine have never killed anything but paper and animals.

“Have you never shot an AR-15?”

I’ve shot the one sitting in my closet a whole mess of times.

Yeah, I can dump a mag as quick as the next guy, but you merely caught me pondering out loud. Maybe I should have kept my thoughts to myself, but what good is that? Better to think and question out loud, and blueprint our collective thought processes together, here on the forum.

Others, like yourself, have made very good points about how this killer was able to do so much damage in such a short time. Some have even provided links to videos and speed shooting info, that has helped others to understand how this was probably executed.

I’m just glad I could stimulate the group to walk and talk with each other through this terrible incident. The input of those who chimed in, has been invaluable.

Thank you.
