On the Proposed Ban On AK-47s

I don't plan on purchasing one so I guess that it's not a major deal for me.......I'm just trying to fathom the logic. I mean, do these gun-control folks actually think that some lunatic who's plotting out some killing-spree with an AK-47 is suddenly going to change his mind and not simply use another type of rifle instead? 'Cause if that's what they're hoping for, yeah, I just don't see it. Sorry.
