Original Note:
Multiple studies have found linkage between the Assault Weapons Ban and gun homicide rates to be inconclusive: https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/ban-assault-weapons/violent-crime.html Gun homicides continued to decline in the decade after the AWB expiration, while gun suicides continued an upward trend that already existed during the AWB: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States#/media/File%3A1999-_Gun-related_deaths_USA.png
