Is the next assassin going to use a spetsnaz knife?
Back in the 80s and 90s, a lot of mass shootings involved SKSes and mini-14s, since they squeaked through the feature tests of Clinton's AWB.
I'd expect modern shooters to converge on whatever passes through the combined sieve of the various state bans. I'd also expect more and more successful shooters to start thinking about things like distance from the target and the possibility of the shooter wearing armor.
In that context, the optimal gun is nearly identical to Grandpa's full power hunting rifle, which nobody has the political power and will to ban.
