No. They do not want to ban "guns". They want to ban specific guns that serve no civilian purpose. Men don't hunt with an AR15 or AK47. If they do, they are neither men nor hunters. I've never seen deer traveling through the woods in armor personnel carriers. You don't need a super clip to defend your home. Hell if someone breaks in my home, I am grabbing the Mossberg first. I'll save my FN P90 for the zombies. The very fact these guns are considered ASSAULT rifles is an indicator of their use.
And Repubs shouldn't complain about abortion as long as they don't want to give the baby healthcare, rights, and any assistance needed to ensure a somewhat decent chance at having an upbringing that won't result in future criminals or welfare addicts.
An assault rifle is a rapid fire rifle- like a machine gun. They are used by the military, SWAT, etc. The term assault WEAPON was coined and propagated by politicians and the media. It's just a rifle that looks really mean (or cool, depending on your perspective).
I can't recall the last time a gunman used a fully automatic weapons for a mass shooting (on campus or otherwise), but I do recall the North Hollywood bank robbers using them in 1997.
The worst on-campus shooting was at Virginia Tech in 2007. The shooter used handguns to slaughter 32 and shoot another 17.
