This petition would seek to gather support for legislation that would ban the manufacture, sale, or possession by any citizen of "assault" type weapons.
These weapons were designed with the express and singular purpose of tactical military use, for their rapid and massive casualty potential.
These weapons have the potential to inflict massive damage to large numbers of people and were not designed with the civilian population or their home defense in mind.
This petition would seek to end the existence of these weapons outside of military purposes in the United States.
