The definition of 'assault weapon' varies by state but generally refers to semi-automatic firearms with military-style features, linked to higher victim counts in mass shootings.
24/7 Wall St. identified 10 states banning assault-style weapons, highlighting their expanded gun control measures, including universal background checks and high-capacity magazine bans.
Gun control remains a significant concern in American politics, with a June 2024 report indicating that 59% of voters consider gun policy vital for the presidential election.
While many states take a hands-off approach to assault weapons, some have enacted stricter laws that effectively prohibit these military-style firearms, showing a growing divide in gun policy.
