Of course it would be low, but if you looked at the total number of people shot, it would be much higher with assault weapons vs a rifle, pistol or shotgun. You can only get one at a time with them.
Actually there are very few assault weapons in the hands of American citizens, actual assault weapons cost in the range of 10k plus and are not the murderers weapon of choice. Semi auto weapons are not assault weapons.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
