64. I'd agree with you, but it's not how it has actually played out.

The gaps create really odd patterns. So places like Chicago do have higher gun violence, but they also have better reporting. So doing an adequate job reporting violent crime statistics actually counts against you. The truth is we get a vague notion, and the vague notion would support the assault rifle restrictions having reduced mass shootings, but you can't definitively demonstrate it one way or the other so we get to say "it did," or "it didn't" when the truth is we don't really know.
