So you acknowledge they dropped during the automatic weapon ban.
General 14 students, 1 teacher dead following mass school shooting in Texas

the AWB didn't ban automatic weapons.
yes, at the same rate they were dropping before and after the AWB.
Hence, the AWB had no impact.
Americas violent gun crime and homicide rates are once again on the upswing… without a ban.
There you go, violent gun crime dropped during the ban.
Which logical fallacy should be pointed out first?
This most likely didn't involve an AR so all ideas about restrictions for them are now rendered moot!

It was pretty widely accepted that Columbine was the genesis of mass shootings being a thing until last week when the AWB became a topic of discussion.

Ban assault cars, imo.
I just banned assaults.
irrespective of the presence of the ban.
try me.
yep, so the AWB had no impact.
EDIT - and legit LoL at using the MotherJones definition of mass shooting as your source
Was gun violence higher at the start of the gun ban than it was when the gun ban was left to expire?
what law changed which increased access to firearms?
yes. now do trend analysis.
so what?
tell me the highest level of math you've passed...did you go beyond y=mx+b?
Third year stats, it was a required course. Hated it.
the outcomes of prohibitions depend on that which is being prohibited
assault rifles were banned before in the United States. and they have been banned in other countries
so instead of comparing the prohibition of assault weapons or guns to a theoretical concept of "prohibitions," it may be more valuable to look at past and current prohibitions. the results appear to be positive in terms of deaths related to those weapons

Assault weapons ban (with associated restriction on 10+ magazines as was done last time) would probably reduce mass shooting injuries and deaths per shooting.
I'd be in favor of increased age and background checking for these items instead of banning them. But banning them will eventually make them less available via cost increases....10-15 years from now.
Suicides are probably impacted by waiting periods.
Domestic abuse turned homicides the same.
Gang violence will require handgun management and of course all the other interventions associated with economic disparities.
