Original Note:
This claim is misleading. The 1994 Assault Weapons Ban final report concluded that "gun crimes involving assault weapons declined. However, that decline was “offset throughout at least the late 1990s by steady or rising use of other guns." https://www.factcheck.org/2021/03/factchecking-bidens-claim-that-assault-weapons-ban-worked/
