If you're going to ban an AR, go ahead and ban all semi-auto style weapons including handguns and hunting rifles.
I own an AR15, and my H&K 45 handgun I would consider a much more dangerous weapon...
Also if somebody is so messed up to do something like this, I'm sure even if every gun style was banned, they'd still find a way to either get a gun illegally or find another means of doing as much damage.

I took own an AR15. However, I fail to see the need for anyone to own one. There is only on purpose for an AR15, and it's not hunting or target practice.
At the same time, a ban on assault rifles isn't going to fix much. It's just banning one type of weapon, not handguns or rifles - all of which are used in these killings.
