First of all, what do you consider an "assault weapon"? There is no such thing as an "assault weapon", there are only rifles. Secondly what is wrong with the public owning automatic weapons? If I pay my taxes, and don't break the law, why should it not be my right, as reserved in the constitution, to own an automatic weapon? The answer is I should be able to. Remember one thing: Gun control is only about control.

Automatic weapons are legal in many of the states and every one they are are among the lowest crime rates.The states such as Illinois, NY, California, etc. that have much stricter gun laws and even outright bans like the one just overturned in Chicago in the OP have much higher crime rates despite gun bans and limits. They are living proof gun bans do not work!
The term "assault weapon" is another anti-gun rights propagandist cliche. The only difference between these types of weapons and supposed non-assault weapons are cosmetic period. All firearms are equally deadly in the hands of an evil person. So called assault weapons are rarely used in crimes as they are impractical to conceal and carry.

I believe these kind of regulations can work to keep assault weapons in the hands of collectors and make them prohibitive to obtain for the casual gun owner, if written properly and enforced fully.
