Well, 'logic' would seem to say that if military style semi automatics and handguns are not generally available their use in mass killings will decrease.Our violent crime rate is down to 1960 levels, while our society has added millions of guns. So, if you want to use "logic" on the question, you probably should rethink your answer.
so....they will just use shotguns and pistols.......and kill the same number of people..
There are 8,000,000 rifles with detachable magazines in the country........
Over 34 years, 1982-2016 there have been a total of 149 murderes with those rifles in mass shootings....
8,000,000 vs. 149 over 34 years....
Knives murdered 1,567 people in 2014 alone and over 1,000 people each and every year....
Knives are a bigger threat than rifles.........also clubs and bare hands, each method killing more people in 1 year than rifles in 34 years.......
And cars killed 33,000 people in 2014....and over 30,000 people each year....
Do you want to ban them?
Which object kills more people....
And 8,000,000 of these guns in private hands and only 1 or2 a year are used illegally.........each year.......
And in France....where they are already completely illegal and unaccessable by the normal French citizen...criminals and terrorists get them easily.....and used them to murder 140 people......and that doesn't even include the grenades and explosives that are also easy to get in Europe..
