Original Note:
The President's message suggests that "Assault Weapons" are not currently banned in the USA. However, the Firearm Owners' Protection Act bans certain weapons under the Gun Control Act of 1968, including machine guns, and restricts the transfer or possession of such firearms. https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/national-firearms-act#:~:text=Firearm%20Owners'%20Protection%20Act&text=The%20Act%20also%20amended%20the,prohibition%2C%20May%2019%2C%201986.
