National Action Alert
Gun Rights
Mr Robin B Tucker,
President Obama called for the reintroduction of the expired assault weapons ban in a recent presidential debate. Republican challenger Mitt Romney said he opposes new legislation that would limit the availability of firearms.
What is it?
The assault weapons ban enacted by the Democratic Congress and President Bill Clinton in 1994, banned some semi-automatic guns that lawmakers deemed too lethal for private use, including AK-47s and AR-15s. It expired in 2004. Democrats, led by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) have repeatedly tried to reinstate it since then.
In favor of the ban on assault weapons- President Obama
“Weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theaters don’t belong on our streets. And so what I’m trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we reduce the violence generally.”
Opposed to the ban on assault weapons - Republican candidate Mitt Romney
“I’m not in favor of new pieces of legislation on guns and taking guns away or making certain guns illegal.”
