In wake of the recent mass shootings, BillClinton calls for the reinstitution of the ban on assault weapons
"We have talked, tweeted and delayed long enough," the 42nd president writes in an editorial for Time magazine.
"The tragedies do keep happening, while the one thing that we know can reduce the number and the death tolls of mass shootings has not been done: reinstituting the ban on assault weapons and the limit on high-capacity magazines that was in effect from 1994 to 2004," the 42nd president wrote in anmagazine published Thursday.
Clinton also pushed back at criticisms that the law was in part responsible for Democratic losses in the 1994 midterm elections, noting that the 2018 midterms and its successes for the party proved the world is in a different place than it was. "Today members of Congress will be supported if they reinstate the assault-weapons and large-ammunition magazine bans, and if the Senate passes the universal-background-check law already passed by the House of Representatives," he writes.
