When Sleepy Joe says the assault weapons ban in 1994 lead to less mass shootings he forgets that after violent crime and property crime exploded in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s in plummeted starting in the 90s. He forgets that. No one attributes this to the “assault weapon ban”. Dementia Joe is just piggy backing on it. Correlation vs causation or something like that.
“In the United States, for example, violent crime rates have fallen by over 50% in many major U.S. cities since these rates peaked in the early 1990s, often referred to as the "Great Crime Decline".[16][17] In New York City, these rates had dropped by 75% from the early 1990s to 2010.[18] In the United States, a second decline in the crime rate was also observed, with homicide rates declining first from 1994 to 2002, and then again from 2007 to 2011.[19] The crime rate in Los Angeles decreased from 1993 onward, including e.g. a decrease in the crime rate of 10% during the first six months of 1998.[20]”
