The amount of damage you can do with a ten clip pistol is less then what you can do with a 30 clip pistol. Or an assault weapon. The assault weapons ban did very little to prevent smaller shootings, but the much larger shootings, such as the sort that occurred at Newton, Tuscon, Aurora and Oak Creek, were far fewer under this law. They weren't completely eliminated, but there were far fewer, and THAT is what's important. |
Um what about columbine? What about the Oklahoma Bombing (second largest terrorist attack and largest domestic terrorist attack - babies died in this?) More people died from homocide between 1994-2004 than have died since. Our homicide rate has been steadily decreasing without any assault weapon ban, and no there weren't any fewer they were just less well known (with the exception of the two I mentioned.)
