Yup. Truth is out.
"The national gun control debate focuses heavily on AR-15-style rifles but most mass public shootings over the last 25 years have actually used handguns, according to new myth-busting data from the Crime Prevention Research Center.
Shootings largely took place in what the center said are already supposed to be “gun-free zones” according to the law, and none of the shootings from 1998 to 2023 would have been stopped by requiring universal background checks, said John R. Lott Jr., the center’s founder and author of the new report.
The study also said Black and Middle Eastern shooters significantly outstrip their percentage of the population, while Hispanics are disproportionately victimized in the shootings."
"The national gun control
