I can see all of these things. I have no doubt that the "elite" in this country would prefer assault weapons be banned for all of the reasons that you point out. These recent shootings are only a means to try and sell such a ban to the general public --many of whom would gladly support it.
I don't see it as being in the cards though. Politicians learned a painful lesson the first time they enacted this ban. They are not likely to repeat it.

Who was it that said something about human stupidity, that he wasn’t sure of?
