Being that pistols are far more likely to be used in crime

Semiautomatic pistols labeled assault weapons are no more no less lethal than those not labeled assault weapons.Assault weapon applies to the cosmetic features of semiautomatic firearms with detachable magazines, not the actual function of the firearm. Its basically like arguing if pink guns are more lethal than black guns of the same make and model.
It depends on which measure you're using
It's funny when the pro-gunnies demonstrate an ignorance of firearms.
Those "cosmetic" features are all functional, which is why the military buys weapons with those features. I don't know what type of delusion leads some people to think the military buys weapons because of their
"cosmetic" value.
The whole gun control debate coalesces, not around conventional armed robbery or murder, but mass killings by which the U.S. seems peculiarly afflicted. There are no mass killings in recent memory that I can recall that have utilized a so-called assault weapon. In fact, the Virginia Tech massacre, the worst single shooter mass killing in U.S. history, was perpetrated with a .22 and a 9mm pistol. The shooter in that case had copious magazines and could easily reload.
The essence of reducing mass shooting casualties is to a. keep guns out of the hands of mentally unstable people and b. reduce the ability of mass shooters to quickly reload. Even a brief delay to reload might give enough breathing room for someone to escape or attack the attacker.
Well please explain when was the last time someone was bayoneted to death in a crime?
i believe the most recent death by bayonet was during the second presidential debate.
Well lets see...
Pistols used in more crimes, check!
Pistols killed more people than all other weapon types combined, check!
I don't know, what measure are you using?
Well please explain when was the last time someone was bayoneted to death in a crime? Or beat with a flash suppressor?
You don't know anything about firearms.
So it's your belief that bayonets and flash suppressors have no function at all and are purely cosmetic?
