With an assault rifle they will quickly shoot and most likely kill in bulk, and it will be very difficult to stop them - an assault rifle or even a firearm has a much greater range than a knife.

And yet, if those tools weren't available they would simply use another tool. If I were intent on doing damage, I could do so with a battery powered nail gun.

And again, using automobiles as a counterargument only serves to demolish your entire side of the debate. Automobiles are far harder to obtain than an assault rifle, yet
far more people are killed and injured from automobiles than assault rifles, or any class of gun for that matter. Yet, you continue to ignore this fact.
