In 2019, Democratic candidate for president Beto O’Rourke created a sensation when he declared “hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” President Biden campaigned on a plan for semi-automatic rifles to be registered under the 1934 National Firearms Act, the same as machine guns. Democratic legislators recently introduced bills in both the House and Senate to ban the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of so-called “assault weapons.” But a new “assault weapons” ban isn’t going to happen. These firearms are here to stay.
