Then what is the rational thought for banning assault rifles, they are involved in few crimes, though perhaps some horrific ones that have been ranked in the news media.
If the intent is to reduce gun crime, would handguns not be the logical target? |

Like most of your other drive-by contrarian replies, easy to say when you make no effort to support a claim. |

The rational thought is that when someone wants to kill a lot of people with a gun, they go for the weapon with the largest magazine capacity.

Fortunately most murderers have only 1 or 2 targets in mind, mass murderers just want to be on top of the list and if quantity is how you are rated by the rating agency (media) then you need the best weapon you can get for the job.
Don't forget the largest school slaying was in 1927 and was done with a bomb. |

After looking thru the FBI reports on Murder in the United States
FBI — Table 20
I had to check at the top under Scams & Safety to see if what the politicians are trying to do is listed there.
If ALL rifles were illegal It would only change the murder rate by 2.5%, now handguns are another story. |

Senator Frankenstein tries to make claims like this, but the conclusion is incorrect because it assumes that if a rifle were not available, another option would not have been used. |
