The vast majority of deaths from firearms result from handguns not AR15s. You dont have criminals in Level 4 hard plates roaming around down town LA with shoulder fired rockets.

Going after scary 'military assault' guns is an easier political sell than tackling handguns.

The majority of US gun murder is one guy with a handgun shooting another person, which won't ever make national headlines
