Common sense gun safety regulations protect lawful ownership and use of guns.
The 1994 Assault Weapons Ban that expired in 2004 protected the rights of gun owners by exempting every shotgun and hunting rifle in use at the time.25 Senator Dianne Feinstein’s proposed 2013 legislation reinstating the ban specifically exempts over 900 sporting weapons. Background checks do not prevent legal gun purchases.
