We do have people posting in favor of essentially unrestricted public

argue against them, because I see the societal disadvantages greatly

 Your dreaded AR fires at the same rate as the nearly every pistol in
the U.S. one round with each trigger pull.
 And strangely these strange weapons can be fitted with large magazines

In fact here's one even larger than the dreaded AR

Yet again, you're sidestepping into a pedantic discussion of gun technology, to avoid addressing my points.
I'm saying ARs in public hands have far more societal detriments than benefits. The detriments include horrific mass murders and extreme public expenses to prevent those mass murders. Based on the societal detriments and lack of societal benefits, I think ARs should have far more restrictions than they do now.
Saying "But other guns shoot as fast" (but 9 rounds instead of 30?) or "But there are big magazines for handguns" (which are extremely uncommon?) are not logical rebuttals of my points.
Your argument is similar to a guy with a speeding ticket, saying "But I'm not the only lawbreaker, so I should get off free." ARs are not the only offensive choice; but that doesn't justify sanctifying them.
