Original Note:
No guns were banned during the AWB. AR15’s continued to be sold. “Assault Weapons” weren’t commonly used in mass shootings before, during or after the AWB The spike in mass shooting numbers is due to a change in definition for mass shootings, lowering victims from 4 to 3. https://www.statista.com/statistics/476409/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-weapon-types-used/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/mass-shootings-mother-jones-full-data/
