Murder is a matter of will, not the availability of weapons. Looking for a simple solution (it's those damn guns) won't solve the problem.
As for "Evil Assault Weapons" enabling the killing of more people, consider the number of victims in the worst mass shootings in America.
The Las Vegas shooting? 52 victims.
The nightclub in Florida? 50 victims.
How many were killed in the Federal building in Oklahoma without a firearm being used? 185 were killed in less than one second. Should we blame the availability of fertilizer & diesel fuel used by Timothy McVeigh to make the bomb? How many were killed on 9-11 without a firearm being used? 3,000.
In Nice, France in 2016, a truck driven by a terrorist was used to kill 86 people. Truck ban?
And this happened in 1927: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster Again, no firearm used.
If I thought it would help, I'd support banning all firearms, even though I am a gun owner.
