I am sure the Jews wished they had assault weapons in the Hitler era so they defend themselves.
And what happens when mass shooters start using handguns? Will you try to ban those too? In fact, hand guns are used more that assault weapons to commit homicides. Not to mention that Mexican has stricter gun laws that the US and 3x the rate of murder. Criminals can get their hands on AR15s if they want. A simple law would not stop them, it would only make it easier for them since their victims will not have guns.

Don't even go there with me as I probably am better versed in the history of that 20 years ago than you will ever be.
Your argument does not hold water for this problem in this day and age.
Even if it did, are you willing to loose your friends and family to protect it for some pipe dream explanation ?
I already know you are going to point the finger at someone and or put up a argument for a fix and all I have to say about it is why isn't 'ANYTHING' being done.
In the case you have not noticed it is getting worse not better.
At the current rate, it will be war in the streets with guns in a way that is worse than anything you have described and what is even worse, your nightmare scenario will be born with martial law from it.
You can sell it but I ain't buy'n it.
