Dem Candidate Buttigieg Says Rifle Ban On The Table
From National Review:
“As somebody who is very familiar from my military training with weapons of war, somebody who carried a rifle and a pistol around a foreign land on order of the president, [I think] there are some weapons that just don’t belong in our neighborhoods in peace time in America,†he said during a campaign rally in Des Moines, Iowa
ATF White Paper Leaked, Suggests Sweeping Changes
From The Washington Post:
The “white paper†by Ronald B. Turk, associate deputy director and chief operating officer of the ATF, calls for removing restrictions on the sale of gun silencers; allowing gun dealers to have more guns used in crimes traced to their stores before the federal government requires additional information from the dealer; and initiating a study on lifting the ban on imported assault weapons.

New York Times: Assault Weapon Myth
The New York Times concedes that the term “assault weapon” was made up and that the ban in the ’90s didn’t work.
But in the 10 years since the previous ban lapsed, even gun control advocates acknowledge a larger truth: The law that barred the sale of assault weapons from 1994 to 2004 made little difference.
It turns out that big, scary military rifles don’t kill the vast majority of the 11,000 Americans murdered with guns each year. Little handguns do.
It was much the same in the early 1990s when Democrats created and then banned a category of guns they called “assault weapons.†America was then suffering from a spike in gun crime and it seemed like a problem threatening everyone. Gun murders each year had been climbing: 11,000, then 13,000, then 17,000.
