This case, while tragic, is also rare.  What is also sad is the way the anti-gun groups are using this tragedy to incorrectly argue that the 2nd amendment only supports hunting rifles, or that criminals willing to commit murder would obey a gun ban.  Instead, they are scapegoating and vilifying rifles that happen to have “scary” cosmetic features.

Instead, these politicians and anti-gun rights groups should focus on enforcing the existing laws against murder, and addressing the real causes of crime.
