I can just imagine a criminal's thought process

Ya know, I was goin to commit premeditated murder on strangers and even children in a particularly heinous manner.

But since being caught with a 15 round magazine is now a Class D Felony, I decided not to commit the crimes. That Class D Felony penalty is just something I am not willing to accept. First Degree Murder, sure, but not a Class D Felony. No way!

Yeah, I can see that happening.

Oh but that's a designated gun free zone. Surely that would dissuade the most dedicated mass murderer!

Hey, say what you will about mass murders, but they don't like doing anything naughty like violate a gun magazine ordinance or a gun free zone. That would be wrong.

Banning higher capacity magazines to combat gun related violence is like banning low profile tires to combat drunk driving deaths.

If you hover your mouse over the graph on certain areas it will go into more detail.
Pretty cool really.

As a Brit, that is the only infographic I'll ever need if I want to teach a class on the misuse of statistics...

Meanwhile, care of Wikipedia, the missing infographic:

...rather careless to discuss the ratio of US homicides carried out with rifles compared to blunt objects, without mentioning handguns...

While we are on infographs, this one from 2012:

As for those of you who have commented on it in negative ways, i suggest you read this to get an idea of how the original infograph in post 1 was compiled.
Notably, the guy was concentrating on rifles, it was crystal clear to begin with.

It is a very poor infographic in that it first off misses the point of what the gun control measures are about. They are NOT about reducing the gun (handgun, rifle or other firearm), homicide rate.

I know the gun lobby would like people to think that is what they are about, but they too have to remember that it is about reducing the likelihood of deaths from mass shootings.

Oh yeah also that its the thin edge of the wedge to remove all 2nd ammendment rights to all firearms from all muricans except govmint approved ones like cops and army.
