Which weapons should be banned?
A very short primer on the weapons
There are automatic, semi-automatic and single-shot weapons.
Automatic guns are illegal. These are machine guns. You press the trigger and the bullets fly until you stop depressing the trigger. An exception to the rule is a Gatling Gun, but we’ve progressed far beyond that type of automatic weapon.
Semi-automatic: You must press the trigger for each bullet to be fired.
Single-shot: you load each bullet manually.
###
The Choices For Banning Are:
PISTOLS
Single shot pistols (musket)
Revolver type pistols (not semi-automatic officially but not single shot)
Semi-automatic pistols (cartridge)
RIFLES
Single shot rifles (Bolt action, Lever action)
Semi-automatic rifles (cartridge)
SHOT GUNS
Single shot (pump action, break action)
Semi-Automatic
NONE OF THE ABOVE
None of the above
There is no choice for "None of the above" in the poll, but that is what I vote for.
Point of order.Which weapons should be banned?

NONE OF THE ABOVE
None of the above, which you forgot to add to your poll, opps.
The one you use.

Automatic weapons are not illegal, you can own one with the right amount of money, background checks, and paperwork.
They just can't be manufactured after 1986, when I was approximately 2.
Edit: Also, none of the above should be illegal.
Maybe all mentally ill people should be banned. That would fix the mass shooter problem.
...or at least given better mental health care. The LW anti-gun mob often blames the RWers on the lack of better mental health care yet the Democrats always put banning guns first and only give mental health care lip-service. Obama only added it as an afterthought when he learned his initial gun ban bill would never pass at all.
RIFLES

I don't think any should be banned.
OTOH, I think that in order to own a specific type of weapon there has to be a "qualification" process. A graduated licence to own that level of weapon with a testing requirement. The more devastating the weapon class the more stringent the testing.
I'm good with that as long as we also require people to pass an IQ and education "qualification process" before speaking, assembling, practicing religion, claiming to be "the press" and, especially, voting. If we're going to impose an authoritarian regime and deprive Americans of their rights, let's get it right, umkay? I'm sure you'd have Trump's full support on this.
