“and the person with experience using guns can reload quickly”(Berman, Mark, Todd). With an average reload time of around 3 seconds, this ban would have minimal effect on the number of casualties. Ultimately, stringent gun laws won't help the problem of mass shootings because the ban on assault weapons won't change the damage done in mass shootings, the statistics show that more gun laws don't equal less crime, and that a maximum magazine size won’t prevent mass shootings. In conclusion, more stern gun laws won’t lessen or prevent the issue of mass shootings because the ban on assault weapons won't affect most fully automatic rifles, as well as the facts show more laws restricting gun use don’t equate to less crime, and the ban on large magazine sizes will hardly or not even affect the number of casualties. As shown with the idea of the ban on assault weapons, the statistics showing more guns didn’t associate with more crime, and how experienced shooters negate the effect of a maximum magazine size
