Just my 2 pennys...if i were a lunatic, I could shoot as many people with a remington 742 as I could with an ar15. Slightly slower, but not enough to matter. So called "assault rifles" are just as harmless to others as other weapons in the hands of sane people. Banning any guns is not the answer. To steal a quote from Justhere, "The beast has never been satisfied". He was referring to taxation, but our government has never been satisfied with anything. If they ban one type gun, they will try another type. And again and again until we are a helpless people with no ability to resist the evil and greed that dwells in the minds of our government.
