The Federal Assault Weapons Ban enacted in 1994 expired in 2004. Attempts to renew this ban have failed, as have attempts to pass a new ban, such as the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 (AWB 2013). ... In addition to state bans, Washington, D.C. and some U.S. counties and municipalities have assault weapons laws.
