If high-powered weapons weren't available, less children would be shot at school and maybe the shooter figures "fuck it, I won't kill enough people with a smaller caliber gun".How would giving up my AR-15 help children stay alive? My weapon has yet to kill anyone? Are you under 16 years old?You don't need such a weapon, but those things are used in school shootings. So to help children stay alive, are you willing to give yours up? I would, because I'd still have other guns for protection and hunting.Why should they ban the AR-15? If there are only 2 choices, then it either gets banned or not? My AR-15 has yet to take a life.. Why should it be banned?So with you it's either of only 2 choices, either sell everything or ban everything. There is a middle ground.You do understand that even with the gun ban, people ended up dead? Why don't EVIL people follow the law? Why do idiots like you want to take our guns away but not the bad guys?Klarevas examined incidents before, during and after the assault weapons ban when six or more people were shot and killed.
• 1984 to 1994: 19 incidents
• 1994 to 2004 (ban is in effect): 12 incidents
• 2004 to 2014: 34 incidents
That shows a 183 percent increase of incidents in the decade after the ban, compared to the years during the ban.
You are right it did not stop mass shootings....
And Columbine had 30% less deaths, even with TWO people doing the shooting, with no assault weapons....vs the Valentine's Day school massacre....
