During that 10 year period, including columbine
the deadliest mass shooting during the period of the ban the 1994-2004 period saw lower average annual rates of both mass shootings & deaths from such incidents than before the ban was put in place. Again not up for debate. Since you brought up columbine let’s get some facts on that.
Robyn Anderson, a friend of Klebold and Harris, bought the shotguns and the Hi-Point 9mm Carbine at The Tanner Gun Show in December of 1998 from unlicensed sellers. Because Anderson purchased the guns for someone else, the transition constituted an illegal "straw purchase." Klebold and Harris bought the TEC-DC9 from a pizza shop employee named Mark Manes, who knew they were too young to purchase the assault pistol, but nevertheless sold it to them for $500. So in that instance, the shooters circumvented the ban..nonetheless, when we include that event, the data was clear..but man I guess your thoughts and prayers from 94’-2004 were some strong thoughts and powerful prayers because the incidents went down drastically..there have been more mass shooting incidents in 2023 then the total number of days..but I guess that’s just the price for your warped version of the 2nd amendment..send your thoughts & prayers..America needs it
