...you heavily desire an AWB and semi-autos in general. You cite mostly mass shootings as a reason. The study you point to does indeed speak for itself. The mass shootings column lists nothing for any laws that have had an effect.

The source of most killings is violent crime and the two things in the chart from your study that evidence shows as being inhibitors are BGCs and mental illness prohibitions which are part of BGCs. Thanks for agreeing with my point that improving the NICS and allowing for universal BGCs would be the most effective way to save lives.
