The main problem I have with these type of weapons is the amount of destruction they can bring in a very short period of time.
I can think of one crime (particular incident) that was used to mow people down with an AK-47 type weapon in the past 15 years.... that incident happened in the People's Republic of California... the weapons used already illegal in so many ways (to include a class III weapon - which you can't just buy with a simple ncis check)
"Assault weapons" - account for < 1% of all gun crimes
so your argument doesn't hold much salt.
