The Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired on September 13, 2004. Please renew or put in place a similar law which bans assault weapons and large gun clips to the general public.
The Act created a flowchart for classifying 'assault weapons' and subjected firearms that met that classification to regulation. Various semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns were classified as 'assault weapons' due to having various combinations of features.
The Act also defined and banned 'large capacity ammunition feeding devices', which generally applied to magazines or other ammunition feeding devices.
It was illegal to manufacture any firearm that met the law's flowchart of an assault weapon or large capacity ammunition feeding device, unless it was being sold to the government.
