FYI most mass shooters use handguns, not rifles.

That's because a mass shooting is often defined as 3+ victims of gun violence in one incident. If you heard "Mass shooting in Times Square" most people wouldn't assume "three people shot in restaurant bathroom with handgun".

I can't vouch for most people but I'd have thought it's been in the news enough that that definition was well known.
