Bringing up the fact that Columbine occurred after the AWB does nothing to disprove my point that high capacity semi-automatic weapons increase the efficiency of school shooters and, accordingly, increase the death toll from such incidents.
If you all weren't lined up with your anti-AWB talking points just itching to spring them on a poster you (incorrectly) thought was just another gun hater, you would have noticed that I acknowledged that measures such as an AWB have good arguments on both sides. My point regarding an AWB was simply that it would reduce the death toll IN MASS SCHOOL SHOOTING (I even acknowledged that mass school shootings are a tiny percentage of annual gun deaths) and that anyone who claimed otherwise is in serious denial or deceit mode.
