And they are still only about 1.5% of shooting incidents. I'd be more worried of heart-disease, cancer, dieing in a car accident, etc than becoming a casuality in a mass-shooting to be honest. But to each their own.

By the way, assault rifles are illegal to own for the vast majority of people in the U.S, per the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986, and you won't get one in a day.  I think you mean "assault weapon" which is a catch-all term for any semi-automatic weapon that looks scary. Also people shouldn't be banned from planes nor purchasing guns without due process. You see a problem, and want to make it worse. I see the problem, and think that it shouldn't exist (people being banned from travel without due process being the problem.) 

I pointed out the no-fly list as an example of screwed up priorities on the part of our lawmakers. 

Sorry for assuming then, but the implication I (wrongfully?) perceived was that they'd expand the screw up to other areas rather than rectify it. In that case, I apoligize.
