In 1966 a man went to the top of an observation tower on the campus of UT Austin with a semiautomatic rifle, a bolt action rifle, a shotgun and several pistols. He shot and killed 15 people and injured 31 others.
The Wiles-Barre shootings happened in 1982. The hooter used a semiautomatic rifle to kill 13 people and wound one other.
The San Ysidro McDonald’s massacre happened in 1984. It was perpetrated with a semiautomatic rifle, shotgun and pistol. There were 22 people killed and 19 injured.
In 1990 a shooter in Jacksonville, FL killed 11 and wounded 6 with a semiautomatic rifle and a pistol.
These are just the major semiautomatic rifle mass shootings prior to the AWB. School shootings and Mass shootings were “a thing” decades before the end of the ban.
Another mass shooting with an AK-47 happened in 2000, during the AWB, in Massachusetts. A guy killed 7 people at his office.
