One should also bear in mind that just 2.6% of all murders are committed using any type of rifle.
therefore, less than 2.6% would have been committed using an "assualt weapon"

Since the Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired in September 2004, murder and overall violent-crime rates have fallen. In 2003, the last full year before the law expired, the U.S. murder rate was 5.7 per 100,000 people, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Report. By 2011, the murder rate fell to 4.7 per 100,000 people.

The overwhelming majority of murders happen with handguns yet scary black rifles get the publicity. You can't fix stupid.
