On Saturday, the Washington state Senate passed a ban on the manufacture, importation, and sale of guns which Democrats refer to as “assault weapons,” claiming that “assault weapons” are not firearms used for self-defense.
NBC Right Now noted that the ban prohibits the manufacture, importation, and sale of “assault weapons.”
The bill, HB 1240, says, “Moreover, the legislature finds that assault weapons are not suitable for self-defense and that studies show that assault weapons are statistically not used in self-defense. The legislature finds that assault weapons are not commonly used in self-defense.”
On September 23, 2022, President Biden spoke to a teachers’ union about banning “assault weapons.” While so doing, he admitted “assault weapons” are used for self-defense. “It’s an assault weapon designed to kill people, to defend America, to defend people,” he stated.
