Friend,
It's been nearly 30 years since there was a federal ban on assault weapons – firearms designed to kill as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.
For the 10 years that a ban was in effect, deaths caused by assault rifles were notably reduced, confirming what we already knew: This policy saves lives. Banning these weapons of war means stopping the next tragedy – because these weapons are the common link between all of the deadliest mass shootings in the US:
