That is a non sequitur as you failed to mention a murder weapon. In the proposed case what was used to commit the murder? It might or might not be a "military style" weapon whatever that is.

What if someone close to me was murdered by a vehicle, knife, ax, hammer, arrow from a bow or crossbow, a rock from a sling, suffocation with a plastic garbage bag or even a chainsaw? How would that change my opinion about owning one of them? It might or it might not. If a steak knife was used should I not use one to cut my steak?
