The vast majority of shootings use one bullet. AlbertCat Apr 2013 #62

What's the point? Mass shootings are impossible with muskets? I knew that. Recursion Apr 2013 #64

I also know that there was a higher murder rate in 1789 than there is today. AlbertCat Apr 2013 #76

And in case you didn't get my point: rate of fire is not a factor in about 95% of gun crimes Recursion Apr 2013 #65

The U.S. has had one mass shooting per month since 2009. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #69

Link? FBI crime stats. 2/3 of gun deaths are suicides Recursion Apr 2013 #70

But you said CRIMES. Got a link that "95% of gun crimes" involve a single shot? nt SunSeeker Apr 2013 #71

Then I was wrong. It's *deaths* not *crimes*. The majority of gun *crimes* involve 0 shots (nt) Recursion Apr 2013 #73

What do you mean by "The majority of gun *crimes* involve 0 shots"? nt SunSeeker Apr 2013 #74

In the majority of crimes involving guns, no shots are fired Recursion Apr 2013 #84
