"Senate Dems introduce 'assault weapons' ban bill on 205 gun models"

[Straw Man]

62. Eh?

Then there's the fact that mass shootings (four or more shot excluding the shooter) are increasing in number. By this definition there were 417 mass shootings in 2019. The majority of these shootings are domestic (in family) incidents. They account for at least 1700 deaths/injuries per year. The weapons of choice are the very ones I'm advocating against. It's hard to shoot that many people with a bolt action rifle or a revolver.

"That many people"? You mean four?

I believe that you may be using this site for your stats.

The definition of "four or more shot" includes incidents where there were no deaths -- 20% of those reported for 2021 to date, with another 30% resulting in only one fatality.

The "weapons of choice" in the highest-profile and bloodiest incidents may be the "very ones" that you are advocating against, but the casualty numbers in those low-fatality domestic incidents could have easily been achieved with a revolver or bolt action rifle. The number shot compared to the number of fatalities suggests that some of these shootings may have been perpetrated with the lowly .22 or a similar caliber.
