Original Note:
3 part DOJ study found "no discernible effect on violent crime from the 94 federal assault weapon ban." Political posturing - then & now. "It provided the illusion of reducing gun violence, but it did real damage to our liberties." Both parties let the ban expire in 2004. https://www.factcheck.org/2021/03/factchecking-bidens-claim-that-assault-weapons-ban-worked/ https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna5946127 https://www.nraila.org/articles/20230221/state-attorney-generals-to-biden-on-assault-weapon-ban-nope-nada-not-having-it
