Eep, the sky is falling again
The assault weapons ban has expired. I don't hear the bullets yet from the apocalypse that was supposed to occur as a result. I wonder why.
Remember, kids, the assault weapons ban didn't ban dangerous weapons. It banned ugly weapons. So take a deep breath and put the hysteria over by Kamela Harris's lungs which popped out while she was hyperventilating. (Coming from a woman who lives in a state which still has an assault weapons ban: "When the ban is lifted, we as a community will all be held hostage by the destruction that will inevitably follow.")
Also, for those of you using anecdotes to explain why the ban is a good idea, don't use examples of killings caused by assault weapons while the ban was in place. They don't really add to the argument that "these bans save lives."
