Thanks F.U.
Yeah, the AR15 was the rifle type discussed in the piece about mass shootings. But, rifles in general produce more severe gunshot wounds than handguns in general (from what I understand).
I think that's one reason a lot of people are pushing for the age minimum for long guns -- especially semi-automatic rifles like AR15s and AK47s which allow a shooter to fire off bullets more quickly -- to be increased to 21, same as for handguns.
