Frequently Asked Questions

What is the actual percentage of firearm homicides that are mass shootings?

Mass shootings account for a very small fraction, approximately 0.1%, of all firearm homicides in the United States, according to data presented in the video.

How effective was the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban according to the National Institute of Justice?

Reports from the National Institute of Justice suggest the 1994 ban was not significantly responsible for crime declines and that its renewal would have minimal impact, as the banned weapons were rarely used in crimes.

What percentage of gun murders involve rifles like the AR-15?

FBI data indicates that rifles, including those often labeled as 'assault rifles,' are involved in only about 3% of all firearm murders in the U.S.

Does the Second Amendment protect the right to own AR-15s?

The Second Amendment protects the right to bear 'arms.' Legal analysis suggests this protection extends to modern rifles like the AR-15, which are used in a small percentage of crimes, making bans illogical and disarming law-abiding citizens.
