Banning assault rifles is a waste of gun-control advocates time and energy. They are not a serious safety problem, nor are they significantly different from a bog-standard hunting rifle.
The problem is handguns, most specifically illegal handguns and the only effective route to control of illegal handguns lies through a repeal of the 2nd amendment.
Any other efforts are a waste of energy. A Missouri compromise if you will, while the obvious goal is abolition.
