You and Craig are not capable of understanding the main point here: assault type rifles with high capacity magazines enable shooters to kill people too efficiently. Any fire arm will kill, but too many mass murderers prefer the ones that let them maximize their destruction. Furthermore, these are the weapons that movies and video games have promoted as being particularly effective. The non-gun public knows this and hates these weapons with a passion. Gun owners can't afford any longer to defend these weapons; they are not defensible. I fully understand how popular they are and how many responsible users have them. We've reached the point where that no longer makes any difference.
