What does it say?

For ten years, from 1994-2004, federal law banned military-style assault weapons.  Since 2004, at least 163 people have been killed and 185 wounded, including at least 38 police officers killed or wounded.

How can I use it?

This report summarizes the evidence that the federal assault weapons ban increased public safety and makes the case for enacting a stronger, more comprehensive law.
