On January 9th, Senators introduced the Assault Weapons Ban of 2019. This is an updated bill that bans the sale, transfer, manufacture and importation of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. These are the military-style weapons that were used in multiple shootings in 2018, including the shooting in Parkland Florida. The bill was introduced by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Cali), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
