Guns, Abortion, Taxes and Green Energy: R v. D

Nonetheless, the 10-year life span of that ban – with a clear beginning and end date – gives researchers the opportunity to compare what happened with mass shooting deaths before, during and after the prohibition was in place. Our group of injury epidemiologists and trauma surgeons did just that. In 2019, we published a population-based study analyzing the data in a bid to evaluate the effect that the federal ban on assault weapons had on mass shootings, defined by the FBI as a shooting with four or more fatalities, not including the shooter. Here’s what the data shows:

Do experts have something to add to public debate?

We think so


Before the 1994 ban:

From 1981 – the earliest year in our analysis – to the rollout of the assault weapons ban in 1994, the proportion of deaths in mass shootings in which an assault rifle was used was lower than it is today.

Yet in this earlier period, mass shooting deaths were steadily rising. Indeed, high-profile mass shootings involving assault rifles – such as the killing of five children in Stockton, California, in 1989 and a 1993 San Francisco office attack that left eight victims dead – provided the impetus behind a push for a prohibition on some types of gun.

During the 1994-2004 ban:

In the years after the assault weapons ban went into effect, the number of deaths from mass shootings fell, and the increase in the annual number of incidents slowed down. Even including 1999’s Columbine High School massacre – the deadliest mass shooting during the period of the ban – the 1994 to 2004 period saw lower average annual rates of both mass shootings and deaths resulting from such incidents than before the ban’s inception.


From 2004 onward:

The data shows an almost immediate – and steep – rise in mass shooting deaths in the years after the assault weapons ban expired in 2004.

Breaking the data into absolute numbers, between 2004 and 2017 – the last year of our analysis – the average number of yearly deaths attributed to mass shootings was 25, compared with 5.3 during the 10-year tenure of the ban and 7.2 in the years leading up to the prohibition on assault weapons.


Saving hundreds of lives​

We calculated that the risk of a person in the U.S. dying in a mass shooting was 70% lower during the period in which the assault weapons ban was active. The proportion of overall gun homicides resulting from mass shootings was also down, with nine fewer mass-shooting-related fatalities per 10,000 shooting deaths.

This cannot be rebutted, no hard, probative evidence has ever been posted on any forum on the USMB.
Total bullshit. Come get them, commie.
 
Hey, man. One tranny is more dangerous to our children's health than 350 million guns.
Absurd? Your post is ludicrous. It seems this post is putting wedge issues out: Gays and Guns?

You expect people to read that wall of trash? Ha, that's funny. Endless whining about guns, when all you morons have to do is get an amendment.
This suggests your comment - Endless whining about guns - is you lack the empathy of the murders of innocent children.

There is nothing funny about the comments of this ^^^^ post and other sociopathic comments.

This phrase "shall not be infringed" is a phrase in the 2nd A. and it is absurd! Since there are laws that deny firearms and other weapons of war not used for sports or hunting - killing human beings is there only function.


and,



The U.S. firearm industry is worth approximately $28 billion. With the most firearms in the world, the U.S. firearm industry contributes a significant amount to the U.S. economy, up to $51.3 billion each year. Further, the economic impact of the firearms industry has increased by 232% since 2008

In 2020 alone, the industry experienced exceptionally high growth. Between 2019-2020, gun purchases increased by 60% (13.5 million guns purchased to 21.6 million). In a more protracted view, the number of guns sold in the U.S. more than doubled between 2010-2020.

How big is the US gun industry?

The U.S. firearm industry is big in the US and plays a huge role in not only the economy, but also American culture. Not only does the industry contribute more than $70 billion to the US economy, but also contributes a lot of money to politicians. During the 2022 midterm election cycle, gun manufacturers spent $9.55 million. In 2016, election spending reached $54.40 million.
 
As noted in the post above, those who are grifters put profits before the people - innocents of children and those who profit from make sure to give money to members of Congress in the Republican Caucus'.
