Original Note:
While mass shootings have increased, this increase is not attributed to assault-style rifles, with 78% of mass shootings within the last 40 years involving handguns. It is therefore misleading to attribute the rise in incidents to assault-style rifles. https://www.statista.com/statistics/476409/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-weapon-types-used/
