Even that wouldn't stop all mass shootings but it might stop some.
While any loss of life is sad, few understand where the numbers of gun related deaths really lie.
As of 2018, suicides represented 60% of the total (~24k) while murders using firearms accounted for 37% (~14k). So how many of that number were due to cases like we've recently seen?
According to FBI criteria , there were 85 deaths resulting from "active shooter incidents", a category they regularly track. By comparison, there were 20 deaths resulting from lightning strikes!
And rifles of any kind are used in only 4% of those crimes. Folks don't want to address where the real numbers are found - handgun use in gang and drug related crime.
