Creepy Condescending Wonka

That is called equivocation and is used by the mainstream media and politicians to manipulate people who don't know the difference. "Assault" weapons have not been available to the general public since the ban in 1986.

However, semi-automatic rifles are available to the public and a neighbor to the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas used his rifle to fire on the church shooter wounding him and causing him to stop his rampage and flee the scene. That was yesterday.

I agree if you mean we should enforce the laws already on the books.
Let's enforce the laws already on the books, which make it illegal for those dishonorable discharged from the armed services to legally obtain firearms. The Air Force released a statement that it dropped the ball and did not properly disclose the shooters record when he was discharged. If his name had been on record he would not have been able to legally purchase firearms.
No extra "gun control" needed. The law abiding citizens (like the man who shot the murderous killer) would still be able to lawfully posses his semi-automatic rifle with no unnecessary regulations.
