It's a fact, faggot. More semi-auto hanguns have been more deadly in shootings. Don't let the truth stand in the way of your narrative though, you fuckin' liar.

Finally, a debate based on FACTS.
From your site; "... Of the 232 victims whose bodies were autopsied, 73 were shot with handguns, 105 by rifles, 22 by shotguns and 32 by multiple firearms."
But despite this anomaly, you are basically correct https://www.statista.com/statistics/476409/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-weapon-types-used/
However, you have this to contend with: "... In 2020, handguns were involved in 59% of the 13,620 U.S. gun murders and non-negligent manslaughters for which data is available, according to the FBI. Rifles – the category that includes guns sometimes referred to as “assault weapons” – were involved in 3% of firearm murders. Shotguns were involved in 1%. The remainder of gun homicides and non-negligent manslaughters (36%) involved other kinds of firearms or those classified as “type not stated.”

Now, we know that more than 4 deaths per incident is considered a mass shooting. So while some nut shoots several people with handgun, another wipes out twice that with an assault rifle. All in all, it's a juggling of stats to fit the narrative du jour.
But this is a side issue from the OP...and I've (hopefully) made my position clear on that.
