The body count from a handgun vs. an "assault rifle" vs. whatever you pick isn't going to fluctuate all that much considering the total amateurs who wield them and the bovine-like reaction of those who are getting slaughtered.
this guy was shooting from the third floor according to one report i read. a handgun wouldnt have done as much damage from that distance. i'm not a big gun person but i do believe the muzzle velocity of an assault rifle is a bit higher than a handgun. not to mention the ammo design.

what are you referring to as a bovine-like reaction?

I'd suggest letting more lawful citizens legally carry firearms. It would have taken any average joe two shots to end that... could have saved a lot of lives.
thats making the assumption that the "average joe" is a better shot.
