Happens all day long in Chicago. Plenty of grieving mothers having children taken from them by perfectly reasonable, 'non-assault' weapons. They are called 'handguns' or 'pistols', or, if you are one of the gang-bangers doing the shooting, 'gats'.  Last I checked, they aren't running rampant through the streets with 'black guns' shooting up the 'hood.

Nothing knee-jerk about using truth to describe or inform others as to what something truly is, and how it's used, rather than fear-mongering with lies to rile up the public into a sheep-stampede. Words have Power, that is what is behind the phrase " The Pen is mightier than the Sword." Using Lies to incite Fear is a very old tactic used to gain Power. Education and Reason are the counter. Educate yourself. 

Note that 'Full-Auto conversion kits' make your rifle a weapon that must now be REGISTERED with the Feds. Failure to do so is illegal and has some pretty stiff penalties.
