Democrats’ ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Prohibits 205 Different FirearmsAWR Hawkins 6 Dec 2023
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) put forward an “assault weapons” ban Wednesday that would prohibit Americans from buying at least 205 different firearms.
The United States Conference of Mayors noted Schumer’s “assault weapons” ban is a reintroduction of a gun ban put forward by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).
On Monday, Breitbart News reported Schumer’s intentions to bring an “assault weapons” ban to the Senate floor this week.
On Wednesday morning, Schumer announced today is the day:

Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) stood on the Senate floor to block the bill Wednesday, noting that “Democrats defunded the police– now they want to disarm the American people.”
There were nearly 25 million AR/AK-style rifles in circulation on June 21, 2022, at which time the National Shooting Sports Foundation observed there were more AR/AK-style firearms in circulation “than Ford F-Series trucks on the road.”
The number of AR/AK-style rifles in circulation is certainly much higher now.
