Yes, the U.S. once had an assault-weapons ban. (It expired.) Now, in the wake of massacres in Buffalo and Uvalde, some Dems want to revisit the federal ban — and one of those lawmakers, @RoKhanna, joins @mehdirhasan to discuss. Catch their convo tonight on @MSNBConPeacock

The actions of a a few lunatics shall not infringe on the rest of our rights. Start to analyze what's wrong with our society that's causing these boys to do these crimes and you'll find other common denominators.

Can we just let them have their guns but not the ammo?

Define assault rifle.

ARs have been used in nearly every mass shooting since the law expired. They are not useful for hunting. They’re only good for shooting a lot of people in a short period of time. Keep a shotgun for defense, if you want but you don’t need an automatic rifle.

The ban did nothing. Because 98% of crime is with handguns.
