Also they sunset the AWB because it didn’t do shit…VA tech and Columbine happened during the AWB…it was shit legislation based off emotional dribble.
Can you provide proof of this claim? Because all I have ever seen is statistical proof that it did in fact work, and that’s why Republicans needed to sunset it.
My understanding is that it was quite effective and no one reversed it, rather, the law was written to only be in effect for 10 years, then the law expired because Congress did not renew it. If someone has good sources on this though (it’s effectiveness, ineffectiveness, whatever), I’m very interested to read more about it.
Correlation is not causation. Read the AWB. There’s nothing in the bill that would prevent mass shootings.
According to whom, and by what standard? That’s a really generic and platitudinous statement you have made there. What do you consider to be “preventing mass shootings”? Should there be a clause in there that says “please dont commit mass shootings!”?
Yeah, it was feel good legislation, total stroke job. They could bring it back tomorrow and it wouldn’t do a damn thing.
