Schiff, Murphy reintroduce assault weapons ban
- Senator Adam Schiff reintroduced an assault weapons ban on Wednesday morning to restrict sales and transfers nationwide in Washington, D.C.
- Schiff based his efforts on the legacy of the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, who passed the original ban more than thirty years ago.
- Schiff claimed 486 mass shootings involved assault weapons since 2006, but he did not provide supporting sources for this figure.
- The Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice reported the ban could not be credited with any crime reduction, despite California’s ongoing assault weapons ban since 1989.
- This new legislation may face challenges given mixed evidence on the ban’s effectiveness, while referencing California’s status with frequent active shooter events in 2021.
