The gun laws didn't change they have been this way for years and years. semiautomatic pistols, shotguns and semiautomatic rifles have been available for public purchase since they were invented. You can buy the same AR-15 in the 70s as you can now. It looks a little different but still has a big clip and goes boom every time you pull the trigger.
Also the majority of your gun violence happens in areas with pretty strict gun control laws. How is more of that going to stop it? Many members of this board take such pride in applying scientific methods to interpret events, how do you answer this?
Also this story is a bunch of crap or the guys in question were plain clothes police and your cousin should stay home until he feels better and avoid extremely violent movies for awhile.
If cops saw two guys with handguns they would have slapped the cuffs on them as that is illegal in Colorado.

Are these events actually increasing in frequency?
How does one actually measure that?
