I'm not sure what you're trying to say exactly, but no assault rifles aren't banned or fully automatic guns. Assault rifles are just those that have a feature that the government deems to look scary like a pistol grip or a folding stock. Semi-automatic rifles, which is all you need, were legal the whole time.

Honestly, I can see magazine restrictions, presuming they are obeyed, as with any gun control, reducing casualties in mass shootings. Just simple math that if you have to reload more you are going to be able to shoot fewer people. That said a magazine is one of the simplest things in the world to construct. Seems like you could easily 3d print one, minus the spring.

Ironically, and for the same reason, I don't think automatic weapons (or machine guns as the gov't refers to them) are that dangerous. You can put a lot of rounds downrange, but you tend to hit fewer things, and you chew through ammo, so you have to reload and potentially run out faster. This is why firing in full auto mode, while most military rifles are capable of it, is discouraged for troops.
