well, missouri repealed that law, and a recent study by johns hopkins university shows controlling for all other possible factors that could explain the dramatic increase in gun violence since the repeal of missouri's background check legislation, the repeal itself accounts for 60 to 80 additional gun murders in missouri every single year. we know that laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people allow law enforcement to take guns away from dangerous people, laws that prevent military-style assault weapons from being in the community in the first place, they save lives. it's not a coincidence that during a period of time after which the federal government instituted an assault weapons ban we saw a reduction in the number of mass murders in this country, and after it was repealed we started to see an increase in those mass murders. assault weapons bans don't have a lot to do with average, everyday gun violence, but they can have something to do with mass shootings. mr. president, edmund burke said this. he said the only thing necessary for the triumph from evil is that good
