Original Note:
Mass shootings are not a uniquely American problem. From 1982-2023, there were 145 mass shootings in the US. Hand guns, not rifles of any kind, were used in about 78% of them. There is no such thing as an "assault weapon." That term is used only for political reasons. https://www.statista.com/statistics/476409/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-weapon-types-used/ https://studyfinds.org/mass-shootings-american-problem/
