Results of 1994 to 2004 BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS. (Assault Weapon, a description that does not exist in the real world)
Studies on effectiveness of the legislation
The Task Force on Community Preventive Services, an independent, non-federal task force, examined an assortment of firearms laws, including the AWB, and found "insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms laws reviewed for preventing violence."[25] A 2004 critical review of firearms research by a National Research Council committee said that an academic study of the assault weapon ban "did not reveal any clear impacts on gun violence outcomes." The committee noted that the study's authors said the guns were used criminally with relative rarity before the ban and that its maximum potential effect on gun violence outcomes would be very small
WE THE PEOPLE need not explain the reasonableness of exercising an ABSOLUTE INALIENABLE RIGHT
Dear Contumacious We need to educate the public and establish what it means to have inalienable rights.
Or else this insane legal and party system will continue soliciting money from unaware citizens by promising
to lobby for laws that take away rights unconstitutionally. They couldn't get away with that if people agree on these laws instead of treating them as optional and arbitrary.
