Johns Hopkins Study: No Evidence ‘Assault Weapon’ Bans Reduce Mass Shootings

It never said what type of weapon, but only talked about large capacity magazines.

Penelope :"It never said what type of weapon, but only talked about large capacity magazines."


And again, you are wrong......more from the actual study......

Assault rifles are commonly used in mass shootings

but that bans on assault weapons had no clear effects on either the incidence of mass shootings or on the incidence of victim fatalities from mass shootings.

Not mass shootings of 4-6 people as said in the report. The report said nothing about assault weapons.


Moron......I just quoted directly from the actual report..........are you this dumb?



From the actual study...

Evidence concerning the regulation of firearms design, sale, and carrying on fatal mass shootings in the United States

Well the report never said "assault weapons". It didn't even mention what type of gun, only the magazine.

Previous research shows that firearm purchaser licensing laws are associated with reductions in rates of firearm homicides and suicides.

------------------------------------
Now if you are a law abiding citizen it shouldn't be an issue any regulations. its false the Democrats want to take your gun away, the republicans always say this.


Again....I went and found the actual report.........and quoted directly from that report.....it used "Assault Weapon," all over the place, as you can see from the quotes....

The democrats have stated they want to ban all semi-automatic weapons.....they did so in public at the CNN townhall.......and their candidates are saying it.....as are the democrats in Virginia.

Link of your report. No assault weapon is mentioned in this report.
Firearm Purchaser Licensing Laws Linked to Fewer Fatal Mass Shootings

Here is the report:
According to the Johns Hopkins study, researchers”did not find an independent association between (assault weapon {only on Breitbart}) bans and the incidence of fatal mass shootings.”

No they do not want to ban assault weapons , but they should, no one is going door to door to get your assault weapons, unless Beto is Potus.

1 place, I stand corrected, it also says:

after controlling for the effects of bans on large-capacity magazines.

and this:
The researchers also found evidence that laws banning large-capacity magazines, defined as those that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, were associated with significant reductions in the rate of fatal mass shootings with four or more fatalities and the number killed in those shootings[/QUOTE]

So they can always take a few mag with them, but it didn't include the mass shootings (the ones advertised over and over again on TV).
 
Guns do not shoot people, people use guns to shoot people, and most of those guns are not legally owned.
 
Guns do not shoot people, people use guns to shoot people, and most of those guns are not legally owned
And background checks are on people, not guns. We license and propose competency tests for people, not guns. When a gun is registered, it is registered to a person

You didn't read it.....

1) This is not the study...this is commentary on the study, that is what you linked to...and even then, from you link...

11th Paragragh.....

assault weapon bans;

From your link, again.....

Paragragh 14....

In addition, the study did not find an independent association between assault weapon bans and the incidence of fatal mass shootings after controlling for the effects of bans on large-capacity magazines.

2).....

I went to the actual study cited by your link...the one they are commenting on........

Do you understand that this doesn't pass the smell test.....or the rational individual test?

There is one mass public shooting that couldn't have been carried out with a pile of 10 round magazines...which means their "evidence," is inaccurate and false........

Name one mass public shooting where a 10 round magazine, lots of them......would have changed the death count...please...we will wait....
 
Guns do not shoot people, people use guns to shoot people, and most of those guns are not legally owned
And background checks are on people, not guns. We license and propose competency tests for people, not guns. When a gun is registered, it is registered to a person


And registering a gun to a person is one, Unconstitutional, and two, stupid.

Canada tried this with just long guns...it failed.....completely..........

The only reason you want gun registration is to have that step out of the way when you get the power to ban guns........there is no other reason.
