Yes. Twenty five years ago, when Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Congress passed the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act — commonly called the assault weapons ban.
It prohibited the manufacture or sale for civilian use of certain semi-automatic weapons. The act also banned magazines that could accommodate 10 rounds or more.


I say we end the jobs of the people who promote this hate and violence
It’s sad how many have to die so the Republican Party can steal elections
How do you deny the USA court records for decades that prove republicans cheat in elections
More and more children will die every day
As weapons get more deadly more children will be turned to hamberger in their little school seats
Some are just fine with that
American children just need to accept their horrific deaths
There is nothing that can be done
The minority of Americans deem it so
You are insane!
Shoot back.
There's a lot out there on this topic but this article resonated with me (and it could be confirmation bias because it makes sense to me)
Is there a valid psychosocial explanation for school shootings?
There is no single answer to the cause of mass school shootings, but it goes much deeper and further than issues of gun control and mental illness

It's a ridiculous thing to say about language.
Jamaica is one of the most violent countries in the Caribbean. In 2022, there were approximately 52.9 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in the island nation. This was highest homicide rate in Latin America and the Caribbean that year.Mar 6, 2023
Jamaica has 8.8 guns per 100 citizens.

The U.S. has 1100% more guns (120.5) per 100 citizens, and a murder rate of 7.8 per 100k
Benny JohnsonThe proper comparison is with other developed countries, in Europe, that share are our cultural roots. Among those we have the highest homicide rate of all. And we have made the shooting of school children our nearly unique
contribution to the death toll.

The Colorado Springs shooter identified as non binary.
The Denver shooter identified as trans.
The Aberdeen shooter identified as trans.
The Nashville shooter identified as trans.
One thing is VERY clear: the modern trans movement is radicalizing activists into terrorists.
Poor Marty.
More irrelevance from my shadow. That post was up for about thirty seconds before dumbo fell all over it.
What specific "cultural roots" are you referring to? Which countries specifically are you referring to?
Mass shootings = symptoms of a much worse problem
Countries commonly identified as "developed", embracing Western culture. Look it up if you want a list.
