I guess this is just a case of two law abiding citizens that had in possession two fire arms that took it upon themselves to break the law.
What in your reasoning makes you possibly think these firearms could not have been used in the same crime if they were banned?
Do you honestly think that banning semi auto firearms would make criminals obey the gun laws when thier initial intent is to break the law with a firearm in the first place?
The Polytechnique shooter already had it in his mind he was going to die, so I don't think he would have gave a darn if his mini 14 was Prohibited.
Oh by the way if the punishments for crimes were a lot tougher Mayerthorpe would have not happened.
Head shake.
