Rifles of any kind are not the problem when it comes to gun violence, and any efforts targeting rifles, rifle accessories, or categories of rifle are a big fat waste of time and energy on the part of anti-gun advocates.
Handguns are the problem. The solution is obviously banning and confiscating them, but since the Founding Fathers were so clearly divinely inspired when they allowed the Holy Spirit to write the Constitution through them, that's a big fat pipe dream.
Some stats: 2011 handgun murders - 6,220, 2011 rifle murders - 323, 2011 murders with fists, hands, feet, etc. 728.
