Original Note:
The CN citing the study in Crim & Public Policy states "After controlling for growth in the U.S. population, the results show the late 1980s and early 1990s had the highest incidence of mass shootings." The Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 came after this period in response. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Assault_Weapons_Ban https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1745-9133.12478
