How is it meaningless? If I'm going to compare the effectiveness of legislation I'm not going to use a statistic that is unaffected and not even the target of said legislation. Because a mass shooting happened in a state that has strict gun control does not mean the legislation was ineffective in doing what it was supposed to. Legislation rarely works absolutely. If we look at frequency of incidences many of the states have deflated numbers in comparison to the U.S. Are you saying that if guns are strictly regulated people will switch to explosives?
