Most handguns are also semi automatic. I think these killers are drawn to weapons that look dangerous, but will use other weapons if those were not available. I don't think the weapon is an inherent piece of the crime, they quite literally are the same action and ability of many weapons that don't look quite as dangerous. Broken brains is broken brains and if an Armalite weapon was not available the broken brain would use a different type of weapon.
The idea that banning just these weapons would stop this seems to be totally fabricated out of thin air when you realize that one of the most famous shootings of this type, Columbine here in CO, was perpetrated without them.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
