Trying to limit guns that have no reason to be in the hands of a citizen. It's a lot easier to do a mass shooting with them.
I'd guess the 2012 Aurora shooting would've had a lot less casualties if he didn't have a fully automatic weapon (if his weapon didn't jam), since I'd assume he was just spraying hoping he hit someone. Infact the casualties were only so small because his gun jammed on him.

It doesn't actually solve anything though. While casualties from shootings would go down it would do nothing to prevent them.

America probably wouldn't be in this situation if the government enforced the 2nd amendment and made sure that everyone who purchased a gun was a part of a legitimate well regulated militia, going to the gun store and buying a gun legally doesn't mean you're in a regulated militia.

Pretty sure that the Supreme Court agreed that the militia and right to bear arms were two separate clauses.
