Here's an idea:
If you see one of these crazies with their civilian knock-offs of a military weapon, take out a laser pointer and just shine it on them.  Getting a picture into the press of one of these yeahoos with 20 or 30 red dots all over them would drive home the visceral ideas that

a) If you bring a gun to a public event, you are a potential lethal threat to everyone around you, and

b) Treatening potential lethal force makes you a target of lethal force.
