during the 10 years of the assault rifle ban, the number of mass shootings, and the use of such weapons decreased, the sunsetting of it was associated with a massive increase in both.

@samueltyler2 There was 70 percent reduction in mass shootings during the 10-year ban. That there was a sunset provision was nonsensical. Have to assume the thinking was the results would speak for themselves. And they did. For thinking people.
But the GOP and gun lobby turned those weapons in to the cornerstone of conservative values and "don't take muh guns."
Horrific.
