The bill would ban the sale, transfer, manufacture, and import of military-style assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and other high-capacity ammunition feeding devices that have repeatedly been used in mass shootings across the nation. While the 1994 assault weapons ban was in place, the United States saw gun massacres <a href=\"https:\/\/www.judiciary.senate.gov\/press\/dem\/releases\/studies-gun-massacre-deaths-dropped-during-assault-weapons-ban-increased-after-expiration\"><strong>decline by 37%<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong> and mass shooting fatalities <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30188421\/\"><strong>were 70% less likely<\/strong><\/a>.

I will continue taking action to end gun violence while respecting the Second Amendment rights of responsible gun owners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has been a leader in the fight against gun violence. Earlier this year, Rosen helped introduce commonsense, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2025\/04\/10\/rosen-helps-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-ban-bump-stocks-protect-nevada-communities-from-gun-violence\/\">bipartisan legislation to ban bump stocks<\/a> and other devices or modifications that allow semi-automatic firearms to increase their rate of fire and effectively operate as fully automatic weapons. Bump stocks were used in the 1 October shooting in Las Vegas. Last Congress, Rosen helped pass the historic<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2022\/06\/24\/rosen-votes-to-pass-historic-bipartisan-gun-reform-and-mental-health-legislation-bill-advances-out-of-senate\/\"> <em>Bipartisan Safer Communities Act<\/em><\/a> to enhance background checks on firearm purchases for individuals under 21, fund the implementation of red flag laws, combat firearms trafficking, and invest in school safety and mental health programs.
