ORIGINAL: BamaD The assault weapons ban did nothing, in fact school shootings emerged when it was in effect. Right, so I am just imagining the massacres that have taken place with assualt type rifles SINCE the ban was lifted ? You just spout a lot of uneducated crap hoping no one will dare question your bullshit........So allow me. quote:
The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence examined the impact of the Assault Weapons Ban in its 2004 report, On Target: The Impact of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapon Act. Examining 1.4 million guns involved in crime, "in the five-year period before enactment of the Federal Assault Weapons Act (1990-1994), assault weapons named in the Act constituted 4.82% of the crime gun traces ATF conducted nationwide. Since the law’s enactment, however, these assault weapons have made up only 1.61% of the guns ATF has traced to crime."
