You both remind me of the princes in the middle ages that wanted to ban crossbows because they rendered armour useless. They used the same argument. In the end, the crossbow was quickly replaced by fire arms. Knights gave up armour and the killing was just worse.
This is my concern.
What will mass killers turn to next?
What can we do to restrain them

I didn't say anything should be banned. And do not think banning certin type of firearms will make any difference in stopping mass killings. But to try and argue that assault rifles are not designed for inflicting maximum casualties in a very efficient manner is wrong. They are designed to kill accurately reliably and are very effective at doing so. PS Should they be banned no.

Almost any semi-auto pistol can pump out as many rounds as an AK or AR in the same amount of time.

True but a hand gun round doesn't come close to the power and effectiveness of a AK or AR round ability to kill in other words.They can be used for hunting or target shooting but that's not what they were designed for.
