No need to say confiscate all weapons, but there’s no reason for civilians to have 30+ round magazines, and semi-auto rifles that CAN fire over 100 rounds per minute, fast as the trigger can be pulled.
There should be no need to panic over true “sporting” weapons or those legitimately used for hunting, with a maximum of 5 rounds in a magazine. But whether you say “military” or “assault” weapons, it isn’t the stocks, bayonet studs, or “looks” that make these killing machines powerful, but their rate of fire, and ammunition capacity. Target that, not just “guns”.
