Light weight, compact size, light ammunition allowing carrying lots of 
rounds, magazines that are big and replaceable with huge ones, grips 
that aid portability when running and aid recoil control during rapid 
fire, plus many available "custom" attachments make AR and AK guns the 
weapon of choice for killing unsuspecting crowds, just as their military 
brethren do with enemy combatants. Civilian full auto may be rare, but 
it's not required for that job of mass murder, as many incidents have 
proven.

And who needs to empty a 30 round magazine in under a minute anyway?
