- Title
WHY BAN "ASSAULT WEAPONS"?
- Authors
Jacobs, James B.
- Abstract
The article argues against the assault weapons bans and distracts attention from other gun control initiatives. It mentions that the proposals to the U.S. Congress to renew the federal ban surface periodically and several states have enacted bans and the passage of the Firearms Owners' Protection Act (FOPA) in 1986. It also mentions that the Congress has passed the U.S. Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act and the conservative objectives like new death penalty offenses.
