Some people aren't very bright.

"wouldn't you want to ban the most common denominator in mass killings?"

I guess you would, if you didn't like owning guns.

"Now some will object to banning guns by saying criminals intent on killing lots of people won't care about guns laws and get guns anyway".

And/Or because they liked owning guns.

"if guns were made illegal for civilians (specifically assault weapons)"

Then civilians couldn't own guns (assault weapons) legally.

"It follows that if guns (assault weapons) were illegal "

There is always that option, IF no one liked owning guns (assault weapons).

90 million (25-30 million) people may feel otherwise.
