A 2008 U.S. Bureau of Justice study concluded that guns categorised as "assault weapons" are used in less than 1% of all gun crime. The top guns used in gun crime are inexpensive pistols that are stolen. A study by the Americans for Gun Safety Foundation found that, over the period between January 1993 and August 2002, 1.7 million firearms were stolen from homes, cars, and even licensed gun stores in some instances.

The paper advocated for a public-education campaign through licensed firearms dealers to encourage gun owners to properly store firearms to prevent theft. Going after assault weapons has very little to do with preventing gun crime.

The gunman, 19 year old Jesus Manuel Garcia, apparently did not complete his task. He opened fire in the theater which caused mass panic. People were running for cover and rushing towards exits, according to police and witnesses. At least two people were wounded in..."
