Perhaps they should do a case control study - places that had mass shootings vs places that didn’t? I’m pretty sure there have been no mass shootings at gun shows or gun clubs, I wonder if there might be some relationship there worth exploring?

Interestingly the NRA national convention reduces gun injuries everywhere else: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-28/for-these...
"In relative terms, the decline is small -- accounting for one fewer injury for every 300,000 Americans."
But there are 1,100 times as many Americans.

"The difference in his study amounts to a reduction of several hundred injuries per convention per year"
