13036095, If the Orlando, San Bernardino and Aurora Shooters only had hand guns

A lot more people would be alive.

If you balance that negative with the positive of such personal use of such weapons (what is it again?), then you have to conclude it's an easy decision to either ban their use or greatly restrict who can own such a weapon.

I don't think you absolutely have to ban them, we just have to stop allowing any tom, dick or hank from being able to so easily purchase them.
