@rdaily Also more to the point (and can be seen even in your chart if you look carefully), mass shootings **increased** by about 30% immediately following and during the assault riffle ban (clearly it didnt work)... once the ban was lifted mass shootings continued to rise at about the same 30% rate.
This would suggest that the assault riffle band had absolutely no positive effect on mass shootings of any kind.
@RustyStriker it is expected and always takes a few years for the inevitable rise to hit. Thats because when bans are passed there is several years before those guns get off the streets.
