Original Note:
1994 AWB had no drop in the number of attacks w/ assault weapons. However, there was a decrease in violent crimes/murders after the AWB expired. Clinton admin couldn’t find any benefits from the law, inc. any reduction in any type of violent crime or mass public shootings. https://crimeresearch.org/2022/05/biden-on-assault-weapons/
