[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]while I don't disagree with the general sentiment above, there are 2 factual errors

#1 Republicans took control of Congress in 1995, the first midterm of Clinton's Presidency

#2 2022 was still a Dem Congress overall...that said, Manchin and Sinema in the Senate refuse to axe the filibuster, so nothing of substance can happen in the Senate that D's want[/quote]

10:30 poster. I didn’t state anything inaccurate, nor mention 1995. The law passed in 1994. So, moot point. Very few terms where one party controlled presidency and both houses (16 out of 52 years). It’s not a partisan issue. It’s a GOP crime, until they have to identify their child by the sneakers worn to school.

Here’s a clearer timeline as it relates to the enactment of the assault weapons ban and when it lapsed:

1993-1994. Democrats had control of both houses of Congress. [i]The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act passed in 1994.[/i] Dem President Clinton and Dem Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Joe Biden.

2003-2004. Republicans had control over both houses of Congress. Rep President George W Bush [i]The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 had to be reinstated at the 10 year mark (2004).[/i] George W let it lapse, requiring a vote, and it didn’t pass.

2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting— Republicans had control of both houses of Congress. Dem President Barack Obama and Dem VP Joe Biden. Not a single gun control legislation passed.[/quote]
