A mass shooting can very easily happen with a 'hunting rifle'. You can buy high capacity magazines for these types of guns in the states.
Yes slower than a semi-auto but the idea that banning semi autos as solving the problem is naive.

Someone that skilled with firearms is 0.1% of the population? A semi-automatic allows anyone to lay down that rate of fire. If they weren’t available it would make a huge difference to these types of shootings.
