If those who would do us harm are intent on doing so, taking away one "tool" would have them turn to something just as lethal.
That is why I always say, it ain't the gun!!!

It is the assault rifle. Take a good look at what happened in Dayton, Ohio.
2019 Dayton shooting - Wikipedia
The police killed the shooter within 30 seconds or so after he opened up with an assault type weapon.

At 1:05 a.m., eyewitnesses reported that a man opened fire at the entrance of Ned Peppers Bar in the Oregon Historic District.[8] He was carrying a firearm that included part of an Anderson Manufacturing semi-automatic AM-15 (based on the AR-15)[9][1] in a pistol configuration with a shortened barrel, chambered in .223 caliber ammunition and equipped with a 100-round drum magazine.[2] He fired into crowds and fatally shot nine people.[10][11]
According to Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl, 20 seconds after the shooting began,[5] law enforcement officers already on the scene engaged the gunman.[12] Within 30 seconds after the first shots were fired,[5] the gunman was shot dead.[13] Local police evacuated many nearby night venues, and warned Dayton residents to stay away from the Oregon Historic District.[13]
