It failed because the original assault weapons ban was riddled with holes, and thus the ban did little to mitigate the flow of assault weapons.
So yeah it was tried, but a ban that actually bans the sale of more assault weapons would be highly novel.
Like the bans in Britton? Or the ones in Australia? Or the city bans that were even more strict than the national ones? Perhaps the state bans that were strict?
I posted many examples with strengthening AND relaxing weapons regulations. NONE worked. You are taking a single example out of the sea that is available to you and even that one does not support your claim. I guess you could make blanket claims that your very specific idea has not been tried but the facts are that a wide variety of gun control has been tried all over the world as well as in the states and the vast majority of them are coming up with little to no evidence supporting any change whatsoever.
No. The USA is unique in its treatment of gun ownership, due to both the 2nd Amendment and the gun lobby, principally the NRA.
So we need to do our own experiments and not rely on those in environments very unlike ours.

As I pointed out (and you promptly ignored) bans have been tried in the states as well. Those bans are very broad ranged from minor regulations all the way to the damn near outright bans.
The point still stands, they have been tried and they have failed and you continue to demand that we try them again.

State bans are ineffective since crossing state lines is a relatively small inconvenience, as the NRA and gun makers / dealers are well aware.
So they mildly oppose them and then highlight the ineffectiveness saying bans do not work, full knowing only federal bans do, which would hamper their sales, in case you're wondering why local vans meet with little resistance, while opposition to federal bans brings out their most aggressive opposition.
In other words, it wasn't reason that triumphed over force, it was guns that defeated it.
Guns turned the American west from a place where the strong triumphed over the weak to a place where farmers planted crops and built towns that became cities. Without guns we would be living under feudalism, not as free people. Taking gins out of the hands of people will turn our society from one where everyone is equal to one where the strong, who are usually the young, rule by fiat.

They fight them in court all the time.

Then the USA would be the most polite society on the planet.
But perhaps we are, and the latest nut case politely urged students, with something to the effect of, "Excuse me, children; would you be ever so kind as to stand against that wall..."

Reality is lost on people like you.
The school was a Gun Free Zone. The mentally disturbed shooter knew he would not meet anyone who could answer him in kind.

So the national ban being considered you think they'll let it go and then file a token suit and leave it to the courts?
Not on your life. They're already buying up Capitol Hill.

We are not an armed society. The only people who carry guns all the time in this country are cops, and they think everyone should be nice to them, and are willing to beat the crap out of anyone who talks back to them.

NRA has strong lobby in states - Dec. 20, 2012
The fact remains that the US has 300 million guns in circulation, if guns made society safer it would be the safest country in the world...as we know from instances like this, it is definitely not...

Look at where the big money goes: DC.
Look at the top 20 candidate contribs: All US Cong/Sen.
Look where millions in lobbying and PAC money goes.
Where did NRA lobbyists come from: federal government.
Their state level efforts are small, comparatively.

Much of gun regulation, however, happens at the state level, where the NRA wields even more power, especially in parts of the countrywith large populations of registered hunters and gun users.
