In case you missed it, murder is already illegal. In addition, manufacturing a machine gun is also illegal. If SKS's were "banned", that would also be illegal, but you seem to think that an SKS ban law would suddenly be obeyed. That high capacity magazine no longer makes it an SKS either. Not only that if an SKS was "readily convertible" as you claim, the legal standard being convertible in less than 8 hours, then its a machine gun as-is and is ILLEGAL AS IS. Since the BATF allows people to own SKSs in the thousands and has SKS on the Curios and Relics lists, its clear that it IS NOT READILY CONVERTIBLE AS YOU FALSELY CLAIM. An SKS comes with a fixed magazine of 10 rounds. A stock SKS was never an assault weapon and was never a machine gun. The perpetrator says he was fired on first, so he is setting up a self defense case.
