Robert Reich: Researchers have calculated that the risk of a person in the U.S. dying in a mass shooting was 70 percent lower when the Assault Weapons Ban was in place than it is today.

Facts, data, logic, analysis — do they play any role in what our government decides? The Republican Party in particular no longer listens, or thinks. It is owned — lock, stock, and barrel — by the gun industry.

The Assault Weapons Ban must be reinstated — the greed of gun manufacturers be damned.
