(from the article, quoting from a dunce)
""I go to homicide scenes and I see the terrible results of injuries caused by handguns. But at least with handguns, there’s an entry wound and an exit wound and the body is generally intact other than those small wounds," McCann said. "If a person is killed by an assault weapon, the body is essentially blown apart." “Assault weapons are designed for killing, not for self-defense," added Peter Gurfein of Giffords Gun Owners for Safety. "The damage done by high velocity shells by these firearms is horrific and disproportionately used in mass shootings."

What is an assault rifle? There is no legal definition of it. It is too broad of a definition and will be abused.
If I am defending myself (or someone else) I damn sure do not want to take the chance that the attacker is going to somehow still be able to get to me and do me harm.
You betcha I'm gonna kill them!
