Assault rifles were banned during the Clinton administration.  What we have here is .223 caliber rifles that look like military style weapons.  The reality is that they are a semi-automatic weapon just like a handgun.  And very few mass murders involve a gun like an AR-15.  The point here is that even if you ban AR-15's because they look scary, crazed perps will accomplish the same mayhem with semi-automatic handguns.  And they will trick them out with double large capacity clips and will have the same firepower. There is a really interesting video on youtube (assuming it hasn't been banned) where a guy using a tricked out handgun was actually able to fire as many shots in a set timespan as he was able to with an AR-15 of similar capacity.

So banning these particular wepons will do zero to eliminate the problem and taking these kind of rifles away from law abiding citizens will likewise accomplish nothing.  Until we address the issues in our culture that cause young men to act out like this we will see more of these horrific acts.
