First RIP to all the victims.
Second just because one shooter did a lot of damage with pistols doesn't mean banning assault rifles isn't a good idea. I don't think there is any reason for a civilian to have an automatic weapon like that. Yes a ban won't stop everyone but it is never a bad idea to make it harder for people to obtain these killing machines. I think most people if they were ever in such a situation and had the option of...well the gunman has an AR-15 or the gunman has a handgun....you would rather them have a handgun
