New Hampshire. Democratic Rep. Dick Swett -- who took a lot of
heat back home this year when he voted for crime legislation that
included an assault weapons ban -- is defending himself with an
ad that pulls no punches. The TV spot pictures the Newbury, N.H.,
town hall, where a gunman with a submachine gun last ,year killed
two town employees~ And town administrator Carole Hockmeyer -
who survived after being shot five times -- appears in the ad
praising Swett's vote for the assault weapons ban. Newbury town
council members responded by asking Swett to drop the ad, as did
the families of the two employees who were killed. The Swett
campaign declined, and the town council members now are urging
voters not to support Swett. Newbury is predominantly Republican,
and Swett contends politics and the National Rifle Association
are behind the town officials' stance on the ad. But Newbury
Selectman Jim Therrien, an NRA member, told the Concord Monitor:
"We're not being backed or encouraged by the Republi~an Party or
any candidate. We're not being backed or encouraged by the NRA.
The citizens of Newbury have asked us to try and stop [it]."
Swett is in a tight race with former GOP state Sen •. C,harles Bass,
who opposes the assault weapons ban.

MEMORANDUM FOR MACK MCLARTY
FROM:
PAT GRIFFIN, RAHM EMANUEL, BRUCE REED AND
RON KLAIN
SUBJECT:
ASSAULT WEAPONS STRATEGY
As you know, the House of Representatives is likely to vote
on the proposed bart on assault weapons soon, probably during the
week of May 4 (though some further delay is possible). This
memorandum proposes a strategy for approaching this vote.
CONCERNS AND THREATS TO OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
To avoid having the assault weapon issue slow down House
action on the Crime Bill, we have not been spotlighting this part
of the President's anti-crime agenda in the past few weeks.
Instead, we have been pursuing a strategy of quietly seeking
inclusion of the ban on assault weapons in the Crime Bill
Conference Report -- while also recognizing, given Chairman
Brooks' strong opposition to the ban, how hard this goal will be
to achieve. 1
Now, Chairman Brooks and Speaker Foley are pressing for a
relatively rapid House floor vote on assault weapons (i.e., early
May). Obviously, achieving a victory on this vote is an end in
its own right: banning assault weapons, is a worthwhile policy
and political goal behind which ,the President has committed his
support.
But the significance of this 'vote goes beyond the issue
itself -- as we discussed at one of our early Oval Office
strategy meeting on the Crime Bill in February, the assault
weapons issue complicates the prospects for passage of the
President's Crime Bill in several respects:
lIf Chairman Brooks succeeds in blocking the assault weapon
ban in conference, our plan has been to move publicly on a package
of gun measures -- the assault weapon ban, firearms dealer reforms,
and perhaps others, as well -- immediately after the President
signs the Crime Bill.
�•
If the assault weapon ban voted upon in the House is _
defeated (as is likely), it wi~l diminish the legislative
momentum achieved by our victory on the Crime Bill;
•
If defeated, than our ability to have this provision -
which is part of the Senate Crime Bill -- included in the
Crime Bill Conference Report is significantly eroded;
•
And there will be significant elite pressure to keep the
Crime Bill deadlocked in the Conference unless or until
conferees accept the assault weapon ban - or put another
way, we will be accused of "selling out" assault weapons if
we accept a Crime Bill Conference Report that does not
include this provision;
•
Conversely, of course, if the assault weapon ban is included
in the Conference Report, winning·- passage for that Report
will b~ more difficult in both the House and the Senate.
In the end, then, we have a vast amount at stake in the moves
that will unfold in ~he next few weeks.
CURRENT VOTE COUNT IN THE HOUSE
Given the unavailability of the House Whip System to us on
this issue (because most of the House leadership opposes, or is
lukewarm on, the assault weapon ban), we are forced to rely on
interest group vote counts and our own intelligence gathering. As
best we know, here is how the House currently lines up:

this is a more-than-uphill fight in the House.
-FIRST OPTION:
SEEK TO AVOID A VOTE
The first option is to seek to avoid a vote on the House
floor on assault weapons until after the Crime Bill Conference is
completed. Given that Speaker Foley and Chairman Brooks are both
pressing hard for such a vote, achieving this option is unlikely
but it merits discussion.
On the positive side, given the likelihood that a House vote
will yield defeat, avoiding such a vote may be the best way of
preserving a chance to win the ban in Conference. It gives
.
Chairman Brooks, not inclined to go our way, the best chance at
moving in our direction. Also, this option is the first choice
of assault weapon proponents like Rep. Schumer and Sen~
Feinstein.
2
�But there is a down side to this, too (beyond its
.
unattainability). It is that this option places the greatest
pressure on us to insist that the assault weapon ban be included
in the Conference Report -- i.e., that creates the greatest-press
from elite opinion for us to keep the Conference going until the
Conferees agree to accept the ban -- which may not be .possible. ,
,Thus, this option probably poses the greatest prospect for
getting the assault ban included in the Conference Report -- but
also the greatest prospect for deadlocking the Conference (and
thereby delaying the Crime Bill) for the longest period.
SECOND OPTION:
FULL FIGHT FOR THE BAN
Our second option is to press, with all available resources,
for House passage of the assault weapon ban on a vote in the next
two to three weeks. Among the elements of this strategy are:
•
Several events by the President and the Vice President in
the next two weeks to demonstrate concern and to heighten
awareness of the issue;
•
Creative publ~c approaches (such as an open letter from the
President to sportsmen) and use of the Cabinet (principally
the Attorney General)i
•
White House meetings between the President and targeted
Members of Congress -- and Presidential calls;
•
Sophisticated legislative strategy~ including putting up a
broader alternative (to give Members somethirig to vote
against) as well as some IIsweeteners ll for pro-gun membersi
•
Intense press strategy, focused on moving opinion in the
districts of key votes .(particularly swing Republicans) .
'.
.
All of this combined is still unlikely to be enough to win on
this issue; but there is some prospect of success, and if we did
win, it would be a dramatic achievement. Of course, pursuit of
this strategy will somewhat delay completion of the Crime Bill
Conference, by perhaps one to two weeks.
But as long as we fight hard for passage of the assault
weapon bill, then, even if we are defeated, we will be able to
explain why we are accepting a Crime Bill without a'ban on
assault weapons. Thus, fighting hard (so long as we are credited
with a genuine, full-scale fight) probably makes it easiest to
move the Crime Bill along.
3
�THIRD OPTION:
STRATEGIC DEFEAT
A third option is to encourage assault weapon ban supporters
in the House to move a larger, more daunting version of the
assault weapon ban-- something more sweeping than the text we
are seeking to enact -- and then, when this legislation is
defeated, . insist that the viability of th,e more narrow, . Senate-~
passed ban has not been damaged.
In this option, we would seek a
"strategic defeat" on legislation to ban many more types of
assault weapons, and then claim that our plan to ban 16 assault
guns had not been rejected.
The advantage to this plan is that it retains the viability
of what we really want -- the specific assault weapon ban -
while also giving the opponents of gun'c6ntrol what they want: a
chance· to vote against it.
It also helps shape the debate in a
way that makes our support for the Senate-passed ban seem more
moderate.
But this plan seems unlikely to succeed.
F.:irst, we would
need the cooperation of the House leadership to pursue it: they
would have to forbear from allowing a narrow ban as an amendment
to the broader bani if such an amendment is allowed, the purpose
of this strategy is defeated. Second, this strategy is unlikely
to "fool II anyone: given how far along we have been in backing
the Senate-passed bill, this device is likely to be seen as
exactly what it is -- a device.
Still, it is an option that merits some consideration -- and
if it could be pursued, would probably give us the greatest
flexibility in Conference.
FOURTH OPTION: PURSUIT OF COMPROMISE NOW
Ultimately, if the assault weapon ban is defeated
the
House, we are likely to pursue a compromise in Conference. Three
major compromises are easily formulated:
•
A more limited ban on assault weapons (perhaps the DeConcini
9 instead of Feinstein's 16) -- though this is unlikely to
move anyone;
•
A ban on multiple-round clips for guns (the Senate-passed
assault weapon ban includes a ban on clips holding more than
10 rounds). This has the advant~ge of probably being
legislatively viable --'while also, arguably, achieving much
of the policy goal behind banning assault weapons;
•
Other, unrelated gun reforms -- such as a the federal
firearms license reforms being advanced by Secretary
Bentsen.
4
�"
.
If the"only purpose of these compromises is for use in
Conference, than they -- or others -- can b~ developed over the
next few weeks. But we need to focus now if what we want is a
House vote on any (or all) of these proposals as the assault
weapon ban moves through the House.
This is the trickiest decision of them all. If we count
votes on any of t.hese compromises -- to learn if we could win
than we will signal our interest in them -- and the NRA is likely
to seek separate House votes on them, even if we later learn we
lack the votes to prevail. Thus, a decision to proceed on
separate votes now will have to be made largely "blind."
The advantages to advancing and having votes cast on these
compromises now "are obvious: if we get one of these things
passed in the House, we will be able to point to a victory in the
context of what will otherwise be a defeat -- and we will make
inclusion of such an item a virtual cinch in Conference.
But if we advance these compromises"now, we make certain the
defeat of the assault weapon ban itself -- proponents may attack
us for doing something that, though perhaps inevitable, undercuts
their position. Also, if we advance a compromise and lose in the
House (as "is possible), we make our Conference position harder
and harder.
CONCLUSION
If the decision is to seek to avoid a vote, the President
must call Speaker Foley as soon as possible, and attempt to
persuade him of this. Likewise, if we want to pursue the
strategic defeat option, we should open discussions with Speaker
Foley about this immediately -- as his cooperation will be
necessary.
If the decision is to pursue a compromise, we will begin to
work with Rep. Schumer to move this along through the legislative
process.
(And even if this is not our preferred course/ we will
start to develop compromise options to have on the table for
Conference.)
"
"
If, ·as seemS most likely, our decision is to press a full
scale fight for assault weapons, we will present a plan by week's
end to implement this approach. But we will need a commitment of
resources -- including the President's time -- to make this
strategy a reality.

�Daily Talking Points On Anti-Crime Legislation
Wednesday, May 4, 1994
THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN:
·A VOTE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, A VOTE AGAINST CRIME
•
Thursday's House of Representatives vote on legislation to ban semiautomatic
assault weapons is not about controlling guns; it's about controlling crime.
•
Semiautomatic assault weapons are the weapons of choice for drug dealers, gangs,
and terrorists. While they represent only one percent of privately-owned :firearms
in this country, assault weapons account for eight percent of the firearms traced to
crime -- a disproportionately high number which has been rising in recent years.
•
And every year, these weapons kill police officers -- men and women who put
their lives on the tine everyday to keep out: communities safe. They are the ones
who are out-gunned by the firepower that street criminals now wield with assault
weapons.
•
This was tragically demonstrated last week in Waukesha County. Wisconsin, when
a police officer was murdered - the first officer in ten years to be killed in the
line of duty in Waukesha -- during a gun battle involving a Springfield MIAl
assault rifle.
•
As a result of this and too many incidents like it, law enforcement officials have
been unified in their support of raking these weapons off of the streets and out of
criminal bands. We cannot ask them to risk their lives in the fight against crime
the help they need.
and then deny
them
•
Today, Attorney General Reno carries that message of support for the nation's law
enforcement community to Capitol Hill. She, along with Congressman Chuck
Schumer (D-NY), Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Senator Metzenbaum (D
. OH). will reiterate the Administration's support for a legislative ban on
semiautomatic assault weapons.
•
The Administration-supported legislative ban prohibits weapons designed for
military combat, but ~cifically safeguards hunters'rights by egplicitly exempting
over 650 hunting and recreational guns; Moreover, not all semiautomatic fireanns
are covered by the ban; only semiautomatic assault weapons -.. weapons designed
for the battlefields of war -- are prohibited.

�THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
May 2, 1994
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT ASSAULT WEAPONS EVENT
Old Executive Office Building
12:37 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, Chief. He's come a
long way from Wisconsin to bring a little Middle Western common sense
to the nation's capital.
When the House of Representatives votes this week on
Thursday, they shouldn't forget the tragedy that the Chief just
talked about •. Think about it -- a 30-year veteran of the police
department killed by an M1-Al assault rifle after a bank robbery; two
other police officers and a ho~tage also wounded. These things can
be prevented.
I also want to thank John Magaw for what he's said.
He's done a fine job as Director of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
division. And before that he was Director of the Secret Service. I
think you could tell his heartfelt concern there. He has two sons
and a son-in-law all in law enforcement. They deserve a chance to do
their job with less danger, not more.
I thank Secretary Bentsen for his sterling leadership.
We joked a lot of times about whether there will be somebody blocking
his entrance to his ranch when he goes quail hunting this fall -
(laughter) -- but I don't really think so.
One of the things that I've learned since I've been
here, even more than when I was a governor, is that very often a lot
of these organized interest groups don't always represent the members
-- their unorganized members -- and wQat they really feel in their
heart of hearts.
I want to thank the leaders of the law enforcement
organizations that are here today -- Bob Scully, the Director of the
National Association of Police Organizations; Sylvester Daughtry, the
President of the International Association of Chiefs of Police; John
Pitta, the Vice President of the Federal Law Enforcement Association;
Mark Spurrier, the Director of the Major Cities Chiefs; and Chuck
Wexler, who's with the Police Executives Research Forum.
I want you all to think about what all you've heard.
There are a lot of people in this audience today who have experienc~d
a loss of life in their own family. And I realize that here today~n
a fundamental way we're sort of preaching to the saved. But what we
hope to do here is to energize you to talk to those last few members
of the House we need to put this bill over the top; to tell them·t;his
is not about gun control, it's about crime control.
�I would never do anything ~o infringe on the rights of
sportsmen and women in this country. I have -- I guess I was 12
years old the first time I fired a .22 or a .410. But I think to
hide behind the rights of sports people to justify the kind of
unconscionable behavior that takes place every single day on the
streets of this country is an. unforgivable abuse of our common right
to be hunters. It is an abuse of that.
Allover the world today, all you have to do is pick up
the newspaper, any given day, and you see how we are worried about
the disintegration of civic life in other countries. We read about
the horror of Bosnia, and we say, my God, why can·'t the Muslims and
the Serbs and the Croats just get along? We read about bodies being
thrown into the river in Rwanda and say, good Lord, why are those
people doing that to each other?
We read now about the rise of organized crime in Russia,
and it breaks our heart. They finally get rid of communism and they
try to go to a more entrepreneurial society, and a'new group of dark
organizations springs up and commits murder. We worry about what's
happening in our neighboring country south of our border, especially
to our friends in Mexico, when we hear about what's being done by
people running drugs.
And we worry, we worry, we worry, and we don't look
around and see -- we have more people behind bars already in this
country, a higher percentage of our population, than any country in
the world -- already. And when we come up with a bill like this,
they say you ought to put more people in jail and keep them there
longer. Well, some people ought to go to jail longer, and our crime
bill does that.
But our disintegration, my fellow Americans, is in the
streets of our cities where, as .John Magaw says, we have suffered a
breakdown of family and work and community, and where that vacuum has
been filled by guns like this, and people who use them ,in a very well
organized way.
Will this solve ~ll of the problems in America? No.
Like John said, this is a puzzle. We're trying to fill in the puzzle
with the crime bill. And in the end, the puzzle has to be filled by
people like this fine Chief out there on the streets of our cities,
and whether the people who live in his community will work with it to
take their streets back. But I'm telling you: This is an amazing
it's amazing to me that we even have to have this debate. I mean,
how long are we going to let this go on?
San Francisco last summer,a gunman carrying two TEK-9s
killed eight people and wounded six others. Last week, when we had
an event for this bill, I'm sure a lot of you saw the husband of one
of the women who was killed in that tragedy, Steve Sposato, who now
is raising his beautiful daughter by himself.
Yes, that guy was crazy, and maybe he'd have gone in
there with that old six-shooter and killed somebody; but Steve
Sposato would like to have his wife's chances back.
Five years ago, a gunman using an AK-47 killed five
elementary school kids. Th,is happens every <:Jay. We lost two people
and had three more wounded outside the CIA headquarters last year.
Remember that -- with a gunman with an AK-47.
�So I say to you, I'm sorry to be so frustrated, but
sometimes it seems that the President's job ought to be dealing with
things that are not obvious. (Laughter.) I mean, at least health
care is a complex subject. It's obvious we need to do something
about it, but it's complicated. I concede that; I welcome these
debates.
How can we walk away from this? Especially when this
bill protects over 650 specific hunting weapons? I mean, I don't
understand why the organizations aren't saying, well, hallelujah,
this is the first federal explicit protection we ever had for the
means of hunting.
And I really -- I was proud of what Mr. Magaw said,
talking about the only color -- I mean, I have heard people with a
straight face saying, well, there are some adults that like to go
target practice with these things. Well, they need to read a good
book. (Laughter and applause.) Or take up bowling
(laughter)
or just follow -- or, you know, you can hunt nearly 12 months out of
the year if you hunt everything. (Laughter.) This is -- it is
imperative. We just have a few days left.
And I urge you to spend less time with each other and
more time putting the hammer of your feelings into the deliberations
in the House of Representatives. And something else -- no good
member of the House or Senate, no Republican or Democrat, no rural
legislator should ever fear losing their seat for voting for this
bill. And something else you ought to do is tell every office you
call: If you do this, I will fight for you for voting for this; I
will -- there may be differences over other issues, but I will do
everything I can to see that nothing diminishes your standing because
of this.
This is. not a complicated issue. And we will have more
issues like this. Every great sopiety is going to face, for the
foreseeable future, these incredible tensions between our freedom and
our abuse of our freedom; between the need for liberty and the need
for order; between our desire to have an entrepreneurial, free
flowing society and the absolute need for some discipline that
enables us to live as human beings civilly together and give our
children a chance to grow up •.
And some of the decisions we'll have to make will be
more difficult than this. But this is a lay-down, no-brainer -
(laughter) -- and the Congress must not walk away from it. Please
help us to pass it. (Applause.)
Thank you.

MEMORANDUM 'FOR MACK MCLARTY

SUBJECT:
' RAHMEMANUEL
BRUCE REED
Importation of Chinese Fir~arms and MFN
Recent news stories have highlight~d the fact that in 1993, more than 3 million
military surplus and Qther, inexpensive firearms were imported into the U.S. ----up froUl·,,~·
700,000 'in 1991. The majority of these weapons are from China and many have heen
.
characterized'by the press as 'assault weapons, although they are not. ,For some months now,
we have ,been W"orking with the Departments of Treasury and State to find ways to address
this issue. However, we have corne to no resolution, and the issue is sure to' corne up in the
context of the President's decision to conti~ue,Most,Favored Nation (MFN) trading status for
China,.
'I. BACKGROUND'
, Prior to 1968, the U.S. was the dumping ground for inexpensive surplus military'
firearms and cheap "Saturday Nigtlt Special" type handguns. As firearms import levels rose
to).2 million in 1967, Congress responded by passing the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA),
which banned the import of all surplus military firearms, andpei:mitted the import of non
military firearms only to the extent that such weapons were designed to meet a "sporting ,
purpose;" The "sporting purpose" test stopped the importation of cheaply made, easily
,concealable handguns that'were the crime guns of the day.
'
, . The Arms Export and Control Act (AECA), whi~h pre.:...dates the GCA, moderated the
volume, of firearms, imports in the ,late 19605. Pursuant to the AECA, firearms trading with
specific countries designated by the State'. Department's proscribed list -- such as China', ,
., South Africa, Vietnam and the nations of Eastern Europe -- was prohibited. '
,
in re~ntye~rs, however, severaLfactorshave combined to onCe again
potential dumping ground for cheap weapons from around the world.
m~kethe US a
'
, ,First, 'in 1984: Congress amended the GCA to allo~ surplus military weapons to be
. imported if the weapons fit within the category of "curios and relics." Thisamendment
originally applied to only a few rare collectibles that were more thruv50 years old. But in '
'1994, virtually all World War II surplus military firearms are eligible for this exemption.,
Second, as trade with China and Eastern European countries has opened, these nations
have been removed from the State Department's proscribed. list, lifting the restrictions against

.
arms importation under the'AECA. As a result, large quantities of surplus military rifles and,
"
r
'
pandguns are being imported and sold in the U.S .., often at prices below $100. China, and to
a lesser extentEasteril European countries, are apparently converting their military fireaIl11s
industry'to produce civilian firearms for sale in the U.S., Over 300,000 SKS semiautomatic
rifles, which seli forabout $100, were imported from C~ina in 1993. China has also, begun
exporting a: 9mm semiautomatic pistol selling "in the $100 price range.
II. RECOMMENDATION,'
,Prio~ to the Ho~se :voteinsupp0rt of an assault, weapons ban, we had pushed Treasury
, and State to Come to agreement on what could be done about the gun importation Issue. '
However,"' with the assault weapons ban shaping up to be one of the defining issues ih the
crime bill conference, announcing any new gun control initiatives will jeopardize the crime
bill. Thus, we would strongly recommend that the restrictions on the import of Chinese
. firearms be addressed in the context of the pending MFN decision.
Banning Chinese gun imports in the context of MFN minimizes the impact of this
issue on the crime bill -- and, In our opinion, makes the most sense. We believe that to' the
extent that gun imports impact on world peace, national security and foreign policy-concerns,
State has authority to restrict their importation. For example, it can be argued that it is
contrary to the security interest of the U.S. --, and U.S: interest in world peace -- to support
,and, encourage the small arms production ~egment of the Chinese economy. Moreover, since
the U.S. is the major firearms ,consuming nation in the world, any action opening up the U.S.
, market to foreign firea~s has,.~ major impact on small arms trafficking tmough<:mt -the 'world.
State has already suggested amending the' AECA's regulations (the International
Trafficking in Arms Regulations, or ITAR) to 'cut-off Chinese imports" but is reluctant to
purSue these change's 'as a pure ,foreign policy'matter. They would prefer to act jointly with,
Treasury -- separate from MFN-- and de-emphasiZe the foreign policy link However, we
agree with Treasury that State, as part,onts MFN str~tegy,can most effectively accomplish'
our goal of restricting Chinese gun imports.
Tr~asury would prefer not to act' on thIs issue; but recognizes that. w~ may not have a
choice in the matte~. Rep. Ed Markey, who' has already met with representatives froin'
Treasury and State, is threatening 'to laurich' a media campaign on this' issue and pursue
restrictions on the importation of Chinese firearms as part of any legislative paCkage in
response to our final, MFN policy. '
If a decision on MFN is imminent -- and that decisi~n is likely to include some
type of restrictions on China, -- we need your help to get State and" Treasury to agree
on what type ~f importation restriction is appropriate and get such ~ restriction
immediately included as part of the' debate to grantor not grant MFN to China~

�Questions and Answers About
Semi-Automatic Assault Weapons
What are semi-automatic assault weapons?
As defined in the Senate Crime Bill and in legislation, pending in the House of
Representatives, assault weapons are large capacity, semi-automatic firearms designed and
configured for rapid fire, combat use (the Street Sweeper/Striker 12 shotguns have a wind-up,
drum). Most are patterned after machine guns used by military forces. They have distinct
features which separate them from sporting firearms.
Many are banned from being imported into the United States, but all can be legally
manufactured in this country. Passing assault weapons legislation removes these guns from
circulation.
Why ban semi-automatic assault weapons?
Assault weapons make up only 1% of the guns in circulation in the United States. They
account for up to 8% of the guns traced by law enforcement officials in the investigation of
criminal activity. They are preferred by criminals over law abiding citizens
.
8 to 1. A number of these guns rank in the top 10 of all guns traced in relation to crime.
The way to show that we are serious about violent crime is to ban assault weapons. We
are not being tough on gangsters if we allow open access to gangster weapons. Passing assault
weapons legislation puts an end to an arms race on our streets.
Some people say semi-automatic assault weapons are just
different looking versions of sporting flreanns?
Some people might try to tell us that a diesel locomotive is like a family sedan because
. they have internal combustion engines. Assault weapons were designed for rapid fire, close
quarter shooting at human beings. That is why they were put together the way they were. You
will not find these guns in a duck bHnd'or at the Olympics. They are mass produced mayhem.
Can't conventional sporting flrearms be tltted with large
magazines?
The legislation no~~.pending in Congress bans ammunition magazines with a capacity
,
greater than 10 rounds.·
If someone crafts an illegal magazine, we can prosecute that person. Right now factories
legally turn out such magazines and distribute them by the truckload.
�Don't some gun owners say that this ban will lead to a ban of
their semiautomatic sporting tlrearms?
The legislation pending in Congress specifically exempts nearly 700 conventional·
sporting firearms from its provisions. This legislation doesn't threaten the law abiding gun
owners; it protects them and protects those who own no guns at all.
.
.Will banning these firearms have an impact on crime?
Yes, it will. These guns help the criminals who have them to commit their crim"es, adding
to the carnage. They embolden the crook. Access to them shifts the balance of power to the
lawless.
It is also a matter of principle that we ban tht;se semi-automatic assault weapons. For
people who say they are serious about addressing violent crime, it is time to vote seriously
about the firearms criminals prefer.
.
The AR-15 comes equipped with a 5-round magazine. How
can you classify this firearm as a rapid f"lI"e assault weapon?
Any weapon that takes a detachable magazine will hold a magazine of a larger capacity.
Large capacity magazines of up to 150 rounds are available in unknown quantities for all of
the firearms identified in this legislation, except the Street Sweeper. However, twenty and
fifty-round magazines-are readily available for use with these firearms.
