According to http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/guns.cfm just 7% of the 5.1 million violent crimes in the U.S involved a firearm. By following Austraila's lead by banning guns that statistic like theirs would drastically increase. Yet in the U.S this year over 1.2 million children had their lives taken before they were even born due to abortions. If you want to ensure the safety and lives of our children we need to look at the real issues, abortions take many more lives, and gun free zones will always be targets, no matter the weapons used.
The Oxford English dictionary defines assault rifles as: a rapid-fire, magazine-fed automatic rifle designed for infantry use. A key word being automatic, which you need a Class 3 license to aquire an automatic weapon, which is registered by the FBI.
