Original Note:
The OP did not claim that there were no school shootings between 1994 and 2004. Even accounting for incidents like Columbine, deaths resulting from mass shootings declined during the decade that the ban was in effect, and sharply increased after the ban expired. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2022/12/24/23522697/federal-assault-weapons-ban-1994-saved-lives-the-conversation-michael-klein
