That was also an over 20% decrease. 22% decrease on the current number would roughly be 40 deaths. There are always variables but one constant through the entire 40 years were assault weapons. There was a period of 10 years in which deaths by assault weapons were 20% less than than any other decade. In 1993 there were 14 deaths from assault weapons and in 94, 95, 96, and 97 there were zero. 1999 was an abnormally high year in which 36 were killed. You remove that statistical outlier of a year, and the number of deaths decline significantly. Other than that outlier year, the most in a given year was 7. Between 1983 and 1993, the 5 years in which more than 7 people were killed. In 13 years after the ban was lifted, there were 11 years in which more than 7 people were killed and 5 years in which more than 36 people were killed. I'm curious what other variables existed between 1983 and 1993 and went away from 1994 to 2004 only to return in 2005? In 2004 there were zero deaths. in 2005 there were 9, so the first year the ban went into effect there was an immediately decrease. The year after the ban was lifted there was an immediate increase. What variables suddenly changed in 1994 and 2004?
