Banning assault rifles is only part of the current Federal proposal.

Also, banning assault rifles 50 years ago certainly would have helped the situation. Not as much as other options, but it would have helped. Just because the cat's out of the bag now too far to make an immediate impact doesn't mean you can't at least stop the problem from getting worse.
