25. The fewer gun deaths were not related to the "ban".

So called "assault weapons" were still being sold, just under different model numbers and slightly different cosmetic looks. Now that the federal ban has expired, the same rifles are now sold under again new model numbers using the original cosmetics. Of course, one great feature of the AR-15 style rifles is that they are so modular, you can change the cosmetics to be just about anything you want.

The majority of Americans want more gun control because they have no idea what the current laws are and how the laws already cover most of what they want.
