Like I said there are only 4 million NRA members. The only murder committed with a machine gun was a police officer. Less than 1% of violent crimes were ever committed with rifles with baynut lugs and flash suppressors. There is no relationship between people with clean records and violent crime committed by street gangs. Nobody recovered the rifles to verify whether police (the 20% number) were killed by rifles with bayonet lugs and flash hiders...instead the study just ASSUMED that the rifles had those military features (unrelated to fire power). Since the weapons were never recovered they could have been bolt action rifles. Hunting rifles have more power than semi-autos that have an intermediate sized cartridge between the power of a pistol and a hunting rifle.
