U.S. Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla are advocating for a renewed nationwide ban on assault weapons, following the expiration of a similar ban over two decades ago. The initiative is presented in memory of Senator Dianne Feinstein, who originally passed the ban in 1994. The senators emphasize that such a ban is crucial for reducing gun violence and preventing mass shootings. They argue that military-style assault weapons should not be accessible in everyday community spaces, asserting the pressing need for legislative action on this matter to prevent further tragedies.
The assault weapons ban was a vital tool in the struggle to reduce gun violence and mass shootings. It saved lives.
Should military assault weapons be on the streets of our communities? No. Should weapons of war be found in our grocery stores, at concerts and houses of worship? No.
