Cruz Beats Senate Gun Witnesses At Statistics Game

Senator Ted Cruz cornered United States’ attorney John Walsh with statistics concerning the effectiveness of the assault weapons ban in the early 1990s. Although both witnesses conceded that the ban did not have a statistical effect on gun crime, both still believe it needs to be reactivated. Cruz kept pounding Walsh with statistics until Walsh’s only argument was that if the ban were in place longer, he thinks it might have made a significant impact.
