Guns will never be banned in the US, that much is certain, but at this point, anything that can limit the shooter's capacity in a mass shooting scenario
would be a step forward.
shooting at static targets in a controlled situation is one thing, shooting at people randomly moving is another.
Most of these shooters aren't trained marksmen. And, obviously, these shooters are sociopaths, so simple human empathy isn't necessarily going to prevent them from pulling the trigger when an innocent person is on the other side of the scope.
Reaching down and swapping out a magazine, in the middle of the chaos, after every 5 shots? Yeah, I think that would have an impact...

This is the thing with these kinds of guns.
They shoot a ton of rounds and really...these guys are just pointing a machine gun at a crowd, closing their eyes and letting fly.
They're not aiming at anyone, they just want to cause hell and these are the ideal tools for the job.
Ban. Them.
Nobody, and I mean nobody who isnt in an active warzone needs a machine gun.
Thats insane.
