You said handguns are more accessible which is false going by legal restrictions.

--- Quote from: Red Spy on March 30, 2017, 11:12:04 PM ---Almost every Hardcore Gamer in the past decade has been armed with handguns as well. Mass shootings will happen as long as guns exist and banning a specific type of gun most people don't even own won't solve anything

making assault rifles more accessible would not help anything and only make it more risky for police officers responding to shooting threats. police (and probably even swat) aren't equipped with armor to protect against assault rifle ammunition, but are equipped to stop handgun rounds.
keeping assault rifles banned wont lessen shooting incidents, but it will make them less deadly and dangerous to respond to.
