In recent years, the debate surrounding gun control in America has intensified, particularly focusing on the legality of assault-style weapons. Critics argue that these weapons, designed for rapid-fire and military use, have no place in civilian life, especially given their role in mass shootings. Variation in state regulations leads to disparities in ownership laws, with states like California and New York enacting bans and implementing stricter measures such as universal background checks. As public opinion shows significant concern for gun policy, this issue continues to dominate political discourse as the presidential election approaches.
Many believe that any gun capable of killing multiple people in under a minute should not be allowed for typical possession.
Across these states, additional firearm regulations include universal background checks, mandatory waiting periods, high-capacity magazine bans, and permit and licensing requirements.
