Show of Hands

I should’ve added the report.

“The numbers on mass shootings in America, 1966-2016:

- 340 mass shootings resulting in 1,141 deaths
- 57.3% at a workplace or school
- 75.6% used handguns
- 94.1% solo male shooter
- From 1966-75: 12 shootings. From 2006-16: 183 shootings”

More than three quarters of mass shootings from 1996 to 2016 involved a handgun, while just 29 percent of shooters used a rifle. Therefore the lifting of the assault rifle ban would be irrelevant.

Most of those mass shootings are gang related.

What is the % school shootings using a rifle?

I’m unsure, and about to head out at the moment so I can’t really look into it until later. The above was just total mass shootings unless school was specifically stated in the attached report. I found this quickly for you though.

Thanks.
My thoughts is that most terrorist shootings and most mass school shootings involve AR style guns.
Note: there is little evidence that limiting Automatic Rifle sales decreases their criminal use.

Nothing to do with Trump, BHO or Bush, or Clinton. This is about problems created by various political powers

Autocorrect...I meant jlong...not along.

Lol. No problem.

Assault weapon- black scary guns that make the uneducated quake in their crocs.

Not necessarily my opinion but an aspect I hadn’t considered before. @squidboy pointed out when the ban ended and how it came tied in with the school shooting polls I have been posting.

JL ... you said @SquidBoy and needed to explain nothing else! You shouldn’t expect much from Squid except the feeble drawing of these kinds of ridiculous unrelated notions. His tinfoil hat is always tilted left.

I know but I don’t like to post in anger. I did and didn’t like the tone I sent. Plus I hadn’t considered the assault weapon ban as a possible factor. I don’t personally think it matters, a tool is a tool, but in interest of fairness I posted this.

Maybe it was due to being able to get bayonet lugs again.
