10 year old Assault Weapons Ban expires in 5 days - Are we less safe if that happens?

Fear itself,

Here is a non PDF version of the CDC report, completly automated to pull whatever statistic out you want.

For instance I punched in your figures and got pretty much the same results you posted. But when I requested “violence related deaths” Which I guess the CDC doesn’t classify as homicide. I got a whopping 51k and some change.

Not sure what that means. Possibly those deaths were all classified as “manslaughter”.

Any way it’s a fun tool to play around with.
