Mass shootings increasing, esp. after RTC-CC laws

MJ has proven once and for all that good guys with guns don't stop bad guys with guns. Right-to-carry and concealed-carry laws haven't improved things, in fact, mass shootings have increased over the same period.

And don't forget to check out this amazing study by Mother Jones of all mass shootings over the past 30 years: "A Guide to Mass Shootings in America."  Some key takeaways:

  • Most of the killers were white males;
  • Most of the guns were obtained legally;
  • One-third of the guns that killers used would have been outlawed by the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013.
