look at the deaths here when we had a law under clinton
The drop in homicide during he Clinton years is attributable to two things.
His crime bill that rapidly increased incarceration rates (+75% -- 1.3 million in jail or prison in 1993 to 2 million when he left) and the waning of the crack epidemic.
If you are talking about the "Assault Weapon" Ban, then you are really wrong.
That law had no impact on crime. Multiple studies on the effects of the law have found, "insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms laws reviewed for preventing violence."and that looking at the stats, "did not reveal any clear impacts on gun violence outcomes." In 2004, a research report submitted to the United States Department of Justice and the National Institute of Justice found that should the ban be renewed, its effects on gun violence would likely be small, and perhaps too small for reliable measurement, because rifles in general, including rifles referred to as "assault rifles" or "assault weapons", are rarely used in gun crimes.
And that remains true today:
And since you are completely wrong on the effects, why wouldn't you be wrong on the history?
The law had to be reinstated by
Congress and a new bill presented to Bush to become law (and he said he would sign it if one came before him).
I realize you have a skewed understanding of the true and legitimate extent of Presidential power after 8 years of the Charlatan, but Bush couldn't "let it expire" if it wasn't within his power to reinstate it.
You should be glad I am here to correct your idiocy.
