Estimates show that approximately one-third of public mass shooting events include the use of an assault weapon, and nearly 40 percent involve a high-capacity magazine.11 When an assault weapon and/or a high-capacity magazine is used in a public mass shooting, nearly 14 times as many people are injured, and twice as many people are killed.12 Not only are there more injuries when assault weapons are used but the types of injuries are far worse. The combined effect of the weapon’s muzzle velocity and the ballistics of the round most commonly. https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Testimony - Hunter - 2022-07-20.pdf

KEY FINDINGS Assault weapons and high-capacity magazines are frequently used in mass shootings, resulting in more deaths and injuries. https://everytownresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2020/07/EFGV02_Assault-Weapons-and-High-Capacity-Magazines_Rd2_6-1.pdf Myth Assault weapons are not deadlier than other firearms. Fact Assault weapons are generally high-powered semiautomatic firearms where each round has up to four times the muzzle velocity of a handgun round. This means that each round from an assault weapon inflicts greater damage to the human body than a round from a typical handgun. Assault weapons are generally designed to fire rounds at a greater rate than other firearms, and when combined with high-capacity magazines, they enable a shooter to fire more rounds over a short period.

In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed an assault-weapons ban, which banned the AR-15 and other similar semiautomatic rifles. After its ban, mass shootings were down in the decade that followed, in comparison to the decade before (1984-94) and the one after (2004-14), NPR reported in 2018. https://www.npr.org/2022/05/26/1101274322/uvalde-ar-15-style-rifle-history-shooter-mass-shooting

Quite rightly, hopefully mass shootings will carry on getting a lot of publicity and Biden helped that along with his call to ban semi automatic assault rifles. "Thankfully, weapons typically referred to as assault weapons or modern sporting rifles are not used in the majority of firearm homicides. However, when they are used, they have an outsized impact on injury and death." https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/download/testimony-hunter-2022-07-20

Nothing wrong with Biden wanting a ban on semi automatic weapons, their definition is clearly defined without the need for fruit. Even from an edited video and ignoring the article where it states automatic assault rifles. Here's another definition from the same link, do you see how what they all say? "In general, assault weapons are semiautomatic firearms with a large magazine of ammunition that were designed and configured for rapid fire and combat use." "The definition varies among regulating jurisdictions, but usually includes semi-automatic firearms with a detachable magazine, a pistol grip, and sometimes other features" Their usage are increasing in mass shootings, he was referring to mass shootings. I think you are losing the plot entirely so I will leave that there with you as your logic is failing

What do you think a "Review Article" is? This is not a study No thanks I don't want to hear misleading and false claims from a quack gone wrong. The professionals can do the fact checking for me. Factcheck Article by cardiologist Aseem Malhotra made unsupported claims about the benefits and risks of COVID-19 vaccination Got anything to dispute it?
