Then perhaps we should focus some reforms on some semiautomatic and automatic weapons. But, first let’s make sure we don’t get in the way of a political fundraiser.

The second part is unlikely. Sure if they are all standing there waiting to get shot. But what's the deadliest mass shooting in American history where only a handgun was used.
Virginia Tech qualifies but it took a couple of hours, not minutes.
There is one at a restaurant from back in 1991 that qualifies. Guy rammed a truck into the restaurant and fired 2 pistols killing 24.
After that you have the Fort Hood Shooting. Took 10 minutes killed 14.
Also worth noting in all those shootings the perp used multiple handguns, not just one.
But that's really it. Most of the deadliest mass shootings involved the use of a semi-automatic rifle. Generally an AR-15.

Guns don't fire themselves.
And as someone who kills a fair amount of wildlife, you don't just pick them up and pull the trigger, and the thing falls over, you have to load, aim, remove safety, fire.
*Things I'm not going to search.
You guys seem the think the firearm does way more work than it actually does.
It's literally the thing that launches a bullet at a speed to penetrate a person.
You ain't killing that many people with your bare hands or any kind of melee weapon.
Only thing that can kill that many people other than a firearm is a motor vehicle which can only be used in certain situations where you have a lot of people and no obstructions and a bomb which takes time and effort to learn how to use properly and might be discovered before exploding. And even then the only bomb that I know of that killed a significant number of people was Oklahoma City. Many other bombs Olympic Park, Time Square, Boston marathon either failed to kill anyone or killed less than 5 people.
In most cases though if you want to rack up the body count, you need a gun.
And what machine is used to spark the primer and ignite the gun powder? Would this machine also be something that pushes the bullet through a rifled metal tube. . . I'll call it a barrel which allows the bullet to shoot straight instead of just flying off in a random direction?
Gee, if only we could find a way to keep those guns out of people’s hands that fire them. You know, like red flag laws at a minimum?
