That's not how it works. You don't decide against committing mass murder because you can't get an 'assault weapon', whatever the hell that is.
You know what's basically just as good as a civillian AR-15 in just about any circumstance a mass shooter could want? A Ruger Mini 14.
What did our latest mass shooter use? A Kel-Tec Sub2000, a pistol-calibre carbine.
I'm a fucking Englishman and even I know this shit. You won't prevent mass shootings by banning guns unless you make ALL firearm access difficult and pretty much destroy America's gun culture entirely.
But it's NOT the guns that are causing this problem. The problem is caused by the degeneration of society. Americans had more access to guns between 1920 and 1970 than they do today and mass shootings were rarer then than they are now.
It's not guns, it's degeneration.
