The point that I think the OP was making is that an AK-47 can empty its 30-round magazine in 5-10 seconds. Your SKS can only hold, what, 10 rounds? So you would have reload twice in the same amount of time. It's also not fully automatic so would take longer to empty.
That being said, it seems like the panic that's caused lets people reload plenty.

First of all I like how the media and everyone else has latched onto the 'fact' that the guy was carrying an AK-47, when in fact it was an AR-15. Not that there is much difference, but it just goes to show how most people have no difference.
Either way, you might empty that 30 round magazine in 30 seconds. 27 of those shots will go into the ceiling. Spray and pray only works in the movies. Like I said, the shotgun probably did more damage.
Also, reloading? Anyone who has ANY experience with assault rifles can reload in a few mere seconds.
There isn't much difference in firearms IMO. Anyone of them is dangerous, so I also find it quite funny when people get all pissed off about assault rifles and choose to ignore the fact that a shotgun does WAY more damage at close range. There is a reason law enforcement uses them to breach.
