Description
The weapon used in the devastating mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, was once banned in the United States. The Federal Assault Weapons Ban was signed into law in 1994, but 10 years later, the landmark legislation was allowed to expire. Stanford law professor and gun law expert John Donahue has studied the impact of the assault weapons ban, and he tells host Cecilia Lei that it worked. But he says gun lobby disinformation and a GOP that won’t stand up to the NRA means new federal gun restrictions are unlikely.
This is the second of two episodes on gun safety. The first was an interview with former Assemblyman Mike Roos, who wrote California's assault weapons ban in 1989. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
