Apparently AR-15's were illegal in the US between 1994 and 2004 but that's when the ban lapsed. I'm thinking that might change soon.

Factually incorrect, but this isn't the place for the debate. TFR would be happy to enlighten you.

Note an "Assault Weapon" (political term for scary black rifle) is different from an "Assault Rifle" (a specific technical term)

Also my personal opinion when it comes to US gun laws is that it's completely hosed that the media discourse (and therefore the national conversation) focuses on the proportionately rare spree shootings rather than the mass availability of guns and the Americans who constantly die in their ones and twos in domestic violence incidents, drug corner shootings, road rage attacks, botched robberies, farm disputes, premeditated homicides, family fights, etc ad infinitum

You'd think so, but this past weekend we had four shootings in addition to Orlando, and basically no one heard about any of them.

By this stage one needs to wonder if the problem is that by now nobody cares if Americans are killing each other as a consequence of their idiotic desire for hearing sticks go bang. Unless enough of them go at any one time, of course. Then it's just sad enough to break through the apathy, however temporarily.

Except you're also incorrect. It was illegal in America between 1994 and 2004 to purchase AR-15s manufactured between those years. You could purchase earlier models, or AR-15s made without certain attachments though.

You see these images on Twitter every so often, and it just defies belief that these things actually happen. Some of them are just so preposterous.

This is not the same as "Apparently AR-15's were illegal in the US between 1994 and 2004".

"Automatic Rifle" has a specific meaning - part of that meaning is it has a mode where if you hold the trigger down and it goes BANG BANG BANG. Automatic Rifles have not been used in US Civilian spree shootings in decades.. Demanding bans on them is pointless as they're already heavily restricted and have vanishingly small levels of violent crime.

"Assault Rifle" is a specific term, it doesn't just mean "any rifle good for shooting people". There's a whole Wikipedia article on it. If it only goes BANG once when you pull the trigger it is not an assault rifle.
