Looking at the issue of banning Semi automatic rifles, we can see that even the people who want them banned know that won't make a difference in crime.....
Analysis: Assault rifle ban would have little to no effect on Indianapolis gun crime
Oliver himself admits that, as a palliative for the city’s persistent problem with gun violence, a ban on assault rifles would likely have little to no effect. And an analysis of IMPD gun trace data bears that out.
This is how stupid the ban would actually be...
In fact, not a single rifle makes an appearance on the list of the city’s most common crime guns in 2017 until the 43rd spot – held by .22-caliber bolt-action rifles manufactured by Marlin Firearms Co. Being bolt-action, those guns would not be banned under Oliver’s proposal.
