You can't steal a large soda and use it to kill someone.
You can't equip a gang with large sodas and challenge the police or terrorize a neighborhood.
I think there's quite a difference.
Sure, banning assault weapons won't fix the problem, but the widespread availability certainly makes unnecessary violence more likely. As Jack noted, how so much ammo could be acquired on short notice online is astonishing.
Perhaps part of the answer is stiffer penalties on merchants who sell illegally, closing the gun show loophole etc...
