Y'all keep harping on AR15's and 30 round magazines when rifles are the least used weapon for crime. But when they do get used, lots of people tend to wind up dead. Now, it is true that semi-automatic rifles with large capacity magazines are not used in all mass killings.But they do represent the majority. Violent crime does not correlate with the availability of guns. In the US, at least, it correlates with poverty and lack of opportunity. It isn't a political thing like you want to pretend. It is just that if guns are readily available and you are a victim of violent crime, odds are higher you will also be shot. A lot higher.
