By that logic, we are focusing on the wrong weapon. If we truly wanted to curb firearm tragedies and murders the handgun would be it.
The issue is that everyone has these motivations which are not bad. To protect posterity to end senseless killing.
No one has the cojones to go after the real killer on the streets, the handgun. Instead they go after the new comer, the one that looks different. In reality even if there was a wholesale ban of even every firearm other than hand guns. retroactive and proactive it would barely dent the murder rate.
Good news is, murder rate is down by several thousand since 2007
