@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.

It seems it took a couplr of years after the ban was initiated, seems to me like it is mostly unrelated to the rise(except the ease of getting weapons that it)..

I know that more guns do not necessarily mean more shootings(example, in israel pretty much everyone who drafts at 18 will prob shoot an m16, and a lot get to walk around with them home and everything), but this nation clearly shouldn't have guns(or knives(or anything that might kill, they seems pretty muxh unhinged somstimes))

@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.
