Your reasonable argument/comment is damaged by your use of the phrase 'automatic guns and long range rifles.' Automatic weapons are already fully restricted with an expensive and lenghty ownership path. And there is no common definition for 'long range rifle' (What is that??) None of these mass shooters since Sandy Hook and before have used either of these weapon types you mention. We need to have an open conversation about these violoent acts by deranged and evil people, but we have to start with facts.
