Schumer: ‘We Already Have a Decades Worth of Proof that a Ban on Military-Style Assault Weapons Works and Saves Lives’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “We already have a decades worth of proof that a ban on military style assault works and saves lives, plain and simple. After I led the passage of the Assault Weapons Ban, I carried the bill in the House as a congressman, alongside our late colleague, Senator Feinstein who carried it in the Senate. What happened? America saw a significant decrease in mass shootings and in gun deaths, a decrease. Unsurprisingly, when that band lapsed, there was a sudden and dramatic spike in mass shootings and deaths from those shootings. We must change that.”
