The fact that The Controllers will apparently never grasp out of willful ignorance is that there are so many "assault weapons" and regular, or "large" capacity magazines in circulation that the bad guys will never have a problem getting them. Ergo, by extension you must allow good citizens to have them, unless you take the morally outrageous view that it's AOK for criminals to be able to out-gun the law-abiding citizenry.

Pro-restriction supporters show their moral bankruptcy in a thousand ways.
