Seems pretty clear that “assault weapons” (unless you are including high-capacity handguns in that definition) aren’t what is driving the U.S. murder rate. And remember, the death rate due to firearms is driven more by suicide than by murder, which is going to be even more skewed towards handguns.
Note: My stance is that I want to limit the size of ALL magazines to 6 bullets. I think concentrating on “assault weapons” is to easily gamed by the gun industry.
