In my opinion NO but it proved a point. From what I have found less than 2% long rifles was used in crimes and mass shootings during the ban. There are a lot of other ways people have been killed just take the time to look up Homicide trends in the USA .We have been down this road it is sad people had to die. At the hands of a Crazy men. But do not punish the legal gun owners because crazy peoples actions.

My Rant,opinion is it seems to me it is all a political talking points and finger pointing with no real solutions . The loss of life is terrible . If our Money is protected by guns also the rich,politicians, hi profile buildings ares and venues, as for Schools why are they not . I would love to know what would of happened if there was some concealed carry in the stores "Texas" , restaurant "Dayton"and sadly other places .To me it is apparent gun free zones do not work nor do the previously weapons bans work. As for the red flag laws are totally unconstitutional.
As For the mass shooters ,murders, no more insanity pleas just the Hangman's noose .
