Gun-control advocates have been pushing for a ban on assault weapons for more than 25 years. This proposal is essentially a political gimmick that confuses people. That is because the term is an arbitrarily defined epithet. A federal ban was in place between 1994 and 2004,
but Congress declined to renew it after studies showed it had no crime-reducing impact.

good stuff here if you get a chance.
I think we should close the gun show loop hole so we can just align existing policies. I don't think suspected terrorist should have the ability to get a weapon and I also strongly believe people who have serious mental illness should not be allowed to own or posses a fire arm. That being said, It will not stop the amazing high shooting in Chicago, most likely will not limit mass/spree killings and certainly will not stop terrorist from attacking this country.
