That's 323 too many. If an assault weapons saves even one life, its worth it. Nobody is harmed by keeping military weapons to the ... military.
Why is your outrage directed at a gun that killed 323 instead of the 6000 weapon. Hammers and fists are responsible for more death each year than any type of rifle according to the FBI.

The military uses machine guns. The civilian "assault weapon" only looks like military machine guns. The don't operate in full auto mode.
You are buying into the media anti gun narrative. Just because the civilian assault weapon looks like the military version doesn't mean it operates like it.
"While Kellerman has backed away from his previous statement that people are “43 times more likely” to be murdered in their own home if they own and keep a gun in their home, he still proposes that the risk is 2.7 times higher."
"Several academic papers have been published severely questioning Kellerman's methodology, selective capture of data, and refusal to provide raw data from his gun-risk studies so as to substantiate his methods and result validity."
Have you taken the time to research the statistics showing how many times firearms are successfully used in self defense each year?
My job is to teach firearms training to people wanting to obtain their concealed carry license. I am well versed in these stats. Look it up.
Tell me how Kellerman's study is flawed in any way
You've already been debunked.
