Original Note:
Rifles of any kind, including "assault weapons" are only used in a small fraction of overall homicide involving firearms reported. The 1994 assault weapons ban had no significant impact on crime, with results being statistically insignificant. https://nij.ojp.gov/library/publications/impact-1994-assault-weapons-ban-1994-96-research-brief https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8.xls
