how many victims per incident per type of weapon?The correct question to ask is what percentage of mass-shootings is done with an assault weapon.
Zero
The term "Assault weapon" is a media invention.
Did you know that most mass shootings were domestic or family violence? Analysis of Mass Shootings
Only 27% of mass shooters used an AR-15. Most used handguns. Reality Check: Most Mass Shooters Use Handguns, Not AR-15s
And what do his links have to do with much of anything at all?
When it mudwhistle 's kid, wife, mother, sister, will the type of weapon or the number of times its been used be the first question he asks?
Next, one of the nutters will say "but swimming pools and cars".
No they would not. Because we know that, absent one weapon a depraved killer or rapist will simply choose another. It is, after all, what depraved killers and rapists do.
I can't speak for mudwhislte, but I know, if my kid, wife, mother, sister were killed in a mass shooting, my first question would be, what antidepressant was the shooter on when he did this.
Even many on the left know it's not the guns causing these shootings, it's the drug.
Watch it and learn. I know you won't, because you don't want to know the truth.
Lets flip your question and see if you have guts enough to answer it:
Your daughter, home with your granddaughter calls you and tells you she repelled a house invasion by a known rapist.
Would you care if she used an AR-15, or for that matter, any weapon, legal or not, to save her and/or your granddaughter?
I look forward to your answer, although I expect you don't have nerve enough to.
And yet when a bill is presented and passed by the house to the Senate that gives law enforcement the ability to temporarily confiscate weapons of people that are obviously violent or mentally ill, the Colorado Republican Senate doesn't even let it get out of the committee before it's defeated on a 5 to 2 strictly party vote. What the law was supposed to do is allow Law Enforcement the ability to seize the weapons of a clearly violent or mentally ill person and immediately quickly get it in front of a Judge who could make it longer term, permanent or override the decision. Your wonderful bunch saying that we should work to get the guns out of the mentally ill's hands is just crap. Guess your sponsor, the NRA, sees it as a way to make more sales. Can't wait until they get an override on all age limits and go for 6 year olds.
And who ecides if a person is "obviously mentally ill" you, a cop, some Schmoe on the street?
