From 1990 to 2017, more than three-quarters of high-fatality mass shootings involving large-capacity magazines occurred in states which lacked a ban on those devices.
By comparison, high-fatality mass shootings that did not involve large-capacity magazines were distributed much more evenly: 50 percent took place in non-ban states.
The analysis covered a total of 69 shootings over 28 years. Of the shootings studied, in nine incidents it could not be determined whether a large-capacity magazine was involved, introducing a small measure of uncertainty into the results.
"If you have to stop to reload, there's this little moment, there's time where people can do one of the three things you learn in active shooter drills: run, hide or fight back. We have evidence that when shooters do reload, people take time to flee or hide." The 1994 federal assault weapons ban played a big part in his study. The Clinton-era law prohibited sales of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines. While the federal ban was in effect, through 2004, there were about nine deaths per year from high-fatality mass shootings. After the ban's expiration and through 2017, that yearly death toll skyrocketed to 40.
Another limitation stems from the sparse data on gun violence that is currently available. The reason why Klarevas and his team selected six fatalities as their threshold is because the data on more granular shootings was not reliable. Even still, the team could not be entirely sure it accounted for every high-fatality incident, though an extensive search was performed.
