Seriously you have deep seeded mental issues. I only know of one incident where civilians used an assault weapon during a crime.The only reason for not banning semi-automatics is that they are considered within the class of firearms that are legal to posess in the united states under the 2nd amendment. I believe that were they to be banned and those that are banned magicaly dissapear from gun closets and safes all over the country we would see a few fewer lives being taken in these sorts of shootings. but what i said is an accurate depiction of our country, those children died for our right to keep and bear, children will always die for our freedom as that is the way things are. fetuses die for our freedoms, Afghanistani children die for our freedoms and school children die for our freedoms, the sort of weapon used does not change that fact.
Banning semi-automatic weapons was just a thought and I wondered if there was an argument. That it is the "weapon of choice" for those who carry is sort of an odd argument seeing that it is also the weapon of choice for the average mass shooter of children.

What I find real funny, you get jail time for a concealed knife, but only a slap on the wrist for a concealed gun.
Maybe the law knows something you chicken littles don't? NYC has some of the strictest gun laws. Nationally, while knife homicides are on the decline, they've risen 50% in NYC!
