There were 28 mass shootings during the last assault rifle ban. Bans do not work. There are more guns in the US than there are people... if guns were the problem there would be no people. It's a people problem. Not a tool problem. A gun is a tool. Most gun crime/murders involve a hand gun. If this was truly about keeping people safe the hand gun ban would be talked about instead of the "scary" assault rifle. But it's not about safety... it's about scaring people to agree with chipping away at the 2A until all guns are banned.
Look at Hong Kong... they want a 2A, they want freedom to protect themselves from governmental control.
