Original Note:
Per the FBI: In 2012, only 322 people were murdered with rifles. Handguns are used in the "vast majority" of murders. A DoJ study found any drop in crime from a ban would be to small to measure, and that programs aimed at people & places does reduce gun violence. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/14/sunday-review/the-assault-weapon-myth.html
