You can try to word smith this all you want. Still does not answer the question as to why, when you see mass executions of school children, it is generally not a shot gun or hunting rifle involved. It is almost always one of these military style, high capacity, semi-automatic assault rifles. Guns that are not designed for hunting, but are designed for inflicting mass trauma on human tissue.
What exactly are do people hunt (besides humans) with a military-style assault rifle?
When I was growing up, I do not remember a single dude I knew who owned a semi-automatic civilian copy of a military assault rifle. And I was around people who owned guns. Yes, my father had an M-1 carbine, they do not have high capacity ammo clips. And M-1 carbines are not being used to execute school children. So they are obviously not the weapon of choice of people who like to conduct mass executions of school children.
I personally think the fetish for military style assault rifles is fairly recent in American history. I do not think it is a healthy fetish, there were plenty of guns when I grew up for target shooting, hunting, and collecting.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Incorrect. Pretty much everything in this statement is wrong. It is a magazine, not a clip, you can buy magazines that will hold that many rounds for nearly any semi automatic rifle, and the velocity of the bullet is the same regardless of which rifle it is fired from as the round holds the charge. Same round fired from different weapons will have the same velocity regardless of how cool the gun looks.

Wordsmithing again. You know exactly what he meant by clip, a commonly used term. You want to wordsmith on guns? I can do that, too.
The bottom line is that AR platform is light, portable, and designed for EXACTLY what this kid used it for. Want a semi-auto .30 cal? Theoretically, the same size magazine. What’s the difference, pally? Heavier, more cumbersome, greater recoil, on and on.

You may be talking about factory magazines, and it is 33 for the Glock 22 (shoots 40 caliber rounds), however you can get and make much larger ones if you don't mind holding a gun that looks like a cane. There are also round shaped ones that can hold a ridiculous number of rounds.
The round ones I'm talking about look a bit like this one (though this isn't the largest I've seen, just one I saw available with a quick search, this one holds 50 rounds for your handgun).

First, we are working with the written language, wordsmithing is not an insult as making yourself understood on the first attempt is valuable a bit of wordsmithing is amply rewarded. Second, I compared apples to apples while you pretend to make sense comparing snakes to caterpillars. She asked a question, and I answered it. She may not use question marks but that was a question.
Basically, any semi automatic rifle made to fire those same rounds will fire relatively accurately and can be fitted with a magazine to hold the same number of rounds, the differences in recoil will be minimal as the round has the same charge regardless of which rifle it is fired from. While some may be more cumbersome to carry, not many will be.
