because it does not take a single assault weapon out of circulation.

The logic is simple: X number of guns produces Y number of mass shootings. It is good that X is not getting larger but it is unacceptable that X is not getting smaller.

The AWB has to be the first step towards a real ban. A buy back or confiscation - I don't care.
