Democrats decided to push for a ban of what seemed like the most dangerous guns in America: assault weapons, which were presented by the media as the gun of choice for drug dealers and criminals, and which many in law enforcement wanted to get off the streets.
This politically defined category of guns — a selection of rifles, shotguns and handguns with “military-style” features — only figured in about 2 percent of gun crimes nationwide before the ban.
Handguns were used in more than 80 percent of gun murders each year...

I'm fine with banning some guns, or even all guns. I don't really care. It's just the AR-15 stuff is an odd way to tackle the problem, because it's a small portion of the problem, and doesn't solve the problem in any way. I think a comprehensive plan rather than a half-ass band-aid might make more headway.
I agree with you but still you asked what is the difference , I answered.
