Not in any way wishing to marginalize mass shootings, those events are invariably pounced upon by the anti-freedom groups in order to try and further their agenda. Whether a gun used is a 'nasty black rifle' or not (statistically, minority usage), the call for their banning is again brought front and center. Not only the evil rifles but any guns that seem worth attacking, as well as magazine capacity. The study presented here is substantial and available as a PDF file - see link shown below. Share it with anyone who needs some 'education'.

Abstract: Mass shootings at a Connecticut elementary school, a Colorado movie theater, and other venues have prompted a fair number of proposals for change. Advocates for tighter gun restrictions, for expanding mental health services, for upgrading security in public places, and, even, for controlling violent entertainment have made certain assumptions about the nature of mass murder that are not necessarily valid. This article examines a variety of myths and misconceptions about multiple homicide and mass shooters, pointing out some of the difficult realities in trying to avert these murderous rampages. While many of the policy proposals are worthwhile in general, their prospects for reducing the risk of mass murder are limited.

The full article is available as a PDF file - Homicide Studies-2014-Fox-125-45.pdf, which attempts to identify and assess numerous misconceptions and myths that seem to have encouraged anti-gun policy responses -- which would have at best a slim chance of seriously affecting the problem.
