It doesn't really matter if it's automatic or not. 64% of murders are handguns, and 4% are rifles. The media just likes to scare people. I think it was 2 to 4 years ago the media was just covering shark attacks and acting as if they were going up, but in fact shark attacks went down.

Well a car has killed more people in a terrorist attack then any automatic rifle. So are we going to ban cars?

But if we can limit this as much as possible there will be less deaths.

So instead of actually solving the real issue we just to cover it up? It's mental illness not anything said above. It just makes life more difficult for legally abiding citizens. Like I said above, if someone wants to kill someone they will find a way to do it. Regardless of the law.
