Sunset of the 1994 Assualt Weapons Ban
Sign Now
We the undersigned, believe the current Assault Weapon and High Capacity Magazine Ban found in the text of HR3355 VIOLENT CRIME CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 1993 (As passed by the House on August 21, 1994 and subsequently approved by the Senate on August 25, 1994); TITLE XI-FIREARMS, SUBTITLE A-ASSAULT WEAPONS, should sunset as provided by SEC. 110105. EFFECTIVE DATE, paragraphs (1) and (2).
This ban has not reduced crime by preventing criminals from obtaining these firearms. Criminals by their very nature will not obey this or any other law when it comes to their illegal enterprises. However, this legislation has put hurdles before the law abiding citizens to legally purchase these firearms. As they relate to the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, these firearms are not sporting arms. The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting or sport, but individual protection. It should be noted that many of these arms are used for sporting purposes, such as competitive shooting, and within the laws, hunting.
The ban on these firearms is based on cosmetic features that do not enhance their ability to function any better than firearms that do not have them. A ban on high capacity magazines also does not reduce crime or deaths. All this does is making it harder for the law abiding to exercise their right to protect themselves. As pointed out before, the criminal element will use what ever they can get, regardless of the consequences of disobeying the law.
Honorable members of the House and Senate, we urge you, please do not put forward a renewal of this ban.
Mr. President, we urge you, please do not sign a renewal of this ban if it comes to you.

"A firearm itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, firearms might be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousnes by propag

Even more importantly, the ban was never expected to affect the crime rate. The FBI had already reported that "Assault Weapons" were statistically insignificant in crime statistics and banning them entirely would not affect those statistics to any discern
