The decline occurred despite a spike in gun sales that month.
The number of mass shooting incidents, killings and firearm injuries all dropped as states and cities took aggressive measures to contain the virus.

Mass shootings in US plunge during pandemic closures
[It was only six weeks earlier the anti-gun rights groups were “concerned” about the spike in gun sales:
Gun control advocates are concerned about a large number of new owners lacking the usual access to training on how to store and handle their weapon properly.
In fact, they wanted gun stores and ranges completely closed during this pandemic*.
So, once again, their “concerns” and/or predictions have been found to be not only false, but 180 degrees out of phase with reality. One could claim they are delusional. But, the truth is, they just lie all the time. It’s part of their culture.—Joe]
* Actually for all time, but they don’t usually admit to that.
“Gun control advocates are concerned about a large number of new owners lacking the usual access to training on how to store and handle their weapon properly.”
They are ‘concerned’ about lack of training but in truly leftist form they don’t want people to actually be trained to be safe, they want to deny people the means to BE safe.
It’s like telling people that you can’t own a car because you don’t have the training to operate one, but you aren’t allowed to learn to drive because you don’t have a car…….
Liberalism is a mental disease.
What a surprise. Close gatherings of unarmed people in gun free zones and mass shootings drop. This qualifies as “analysis” in some way?
