Look at Paris. Europe has some of the strictest gun laws in the World and suicide bombs + AR-15s were still the culprits there.
Mad, hateful, and bitter people will be violent regardless of what you ban or outlaw.

Organised crime can get assault rifles on the black market in any country or steal it from a military base. It's a bigger hurdle that requires having connections versus getting semi-automatic rifles and modifying it to full-automatic.
Twice in a year in Paris is an exceptional amount, in gun control countries. It's usually less than once in 10 years. However the US is dealing with on average more than 1 per day. 372 mass shootings in 2015, minus 2 is still 370 preventable ones through gun control. 2 is 0.54 % of 372, 99.5% is preventable.
Americans rather believe in the fairy tale that if they had a hand gun that they could shoot back. If someone is going for assault rifles, they also get enough kevlar to stop the average police bullet.
Gun ownership also don't scare them away, it just reminds them to shoot first and hard enough to stop people from grabbing their guns. Police officers are triggerhappy because of exactly this reason.
