Fuck
Surprised Mike didn't call him out on Reich's greasing of the AWB
"it reduced mass shootings!"
I'm sure the families of Columbine will take that to heart tonight
pretty sure gun homicides overall either stayed the same or increased during the ban
can't find the stats at a glance, of course
usually I have all this shit bookmarked but now I have so many bookmarks I still can't find it
ironically even going to wiki's AWB page only lists a graphy showing # of mass shootings per year
*not* gun homicide per year
hmm
CDC gives me a CSV file which OpenOffice can't fucking open properly
oh, here we go
AWB was 94 to 04, right
Yes
FBI's online stats only stretch back to '95
CDCs go back further
CDC made the Dickey Amendment necessary though
> Went through the process of totaling up the population over the timespan
seems a negligible change tbh
I'll collect more data later
2009, five years after the AWB expired, and they're still able to hit sub-10 per capita numbers

Parkland shooter was all kinds of fucked up before he ever bought a gun, and had tons of people watching him as he went about his life
there was actually a report right after the AWB ended
that concluded that the AWB's effect was not statistically significant
‘Murcia
LOL
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!

A major newspaper acknowledging that most gun deaths are from suicides? Well, I guess that's progress.
i know about the rifle, but they still haven't said when it's coming out in the US
it has a big shiny 'buy now' button there
