    Mass shootings have doubled in the decade since the AWB expired.

    The AWB didn't lower the statistic from the previous ten years, but since it expired, mass shootings have dramatically increased.

    There's been 28 mass shootings in the last 8 years.

    From 1994 to 2004, a two year longer period, there were 15.

    Mass shootings are generally done with handguns.

    But go ahead.

    Ban the AR-15. Your mass shooter if he wants to use a rifle will switch over the Mini-14 with a wood stock giving you the same results......

    Dummyurge: A couple serious questions: In what year was the 1994 Clinton Gun Ban passed into law? What year was the Columbine High School Massacre (the first big school shooting)?

    Dont forget the January 4th memo from this year from the National Institute of Justice, the DOJ research branch, to the President that got uncovered. It says the same thing. It says that universal background checks dont work. It stated that the only way to make any thing work is to register all firearms owners and then implement "mandatory gun buy backs", AKA confiscation, and to allow no grandfathering of firearms ownership.

    Whodathunkit!

    It is sad, seeing those guns, designed for killing, being so misused. :marathon:

    No no. That's just a bonus. But really, deep down, they're meant to be used in a cold blooded murder. Preferably of children and pregnant women. :yes:
