Just because more than half of the U.S. population despises assault
rifles and wants to ban them is not a valid argument for banning
assault rifles.

Assault rifles are the sort of rifles that armies use. The sort of
gun that a well regulated militia should have. So banning them goes
against the Constitution. And the rifles are just rifles. There is
nothing vile about them. What is vile is the movies and video games
that show people killing each other.
