Paws, I'm curious why you are linking a liberal website. That being said, this chart is telling. I'm curious if anyone knows when the Brady bill was signed and then lapsed correlated with this chart.

The Brady Bill was signed into law in 1993. There were almost no actual Brady Bill violations and it stopped a pretty small amount of gun sales on the aggregate, but it did bring on magazine control.

All of the Cletus types rushed out and paid 400% above the normal price for all of the high capacity magazines and that was it, they were gone until it expired.

I'd have to really dive into it, but the only really publicized mass shooting I can remember during the time of the Brady Bill was the black guy that shot up the subway/train. I believe it was in Philadelphia.

The simple numbers are from 1904 to 2004 there was an average of 1.13 mass shooting per year. From 2005 to present there are 3.5 mass shooting per year. Those are just the numbers, take them however you want.

Kip Kinkel would like a word

I don't count school shootings. I obviously remember Kip. It was 50 miles away and we were the same grade.

Shitty kids that get bullied always do stupid shit. Adults taking something out on adult strangers are the thing I was talking about, like UCC, which was 12 miles away.
