(173,246 posts)like S.2938 - Bipartisan Safer Communities Act - particularly related to those "ghost guns" (and the kits that get sold completely unregulated), that believe it or not (which will hopefully be left alone) will have a bigger impact on people's lives than the AWB at this point.
And that's because although an AW will cause mass deaths quickly in a single incident, that level of mass killing is going on in 2s and 3s and 4s using illegal handguns, literally on an hourly basis throughout the U.S.
The last AWB was actually included in H.R.3355 - Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 as an amendment and a new one will probably need to be added in the same way - perhaps via reconciliation, if we can get enough Senators to do it (reconciliation only needs 51 votes).
