The United States has already banned assault weapons for a period of 10 years from 1994-2004. That ban then expired, and has not been renewed. Therefore, this post should say “Re-ban assault weapons” if it desired to be accurate, rather than controversial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Assault_Weapons_Ban
