Quote:Those figures directly contradict FBI statistics which show the MAJORITY of mass shootings are with handguns - not " asssault weapons".So gun nuts are irrational blame the lefties ....RightÂ
Furthermore the ban never affected the ability for anyone to purchase an " assault weapon" - effectively all it did was eliminate flash hiders and bayonette lugs. ( I must have missed the news stories on the rash of drive- by bayonettings that inspired that idiocy)
The other outcome was to cause panic buying before the ban went into effect - and drive prices up. It also solidified the market for " black rifles" which are now much more available AT LOWER PRICES.
Good go.
Keep fucking with it. You might make machine guns more popular.
And FBI crime statistics are notoriously shoddy
