Why do Americans now have assault rifles?

Do American lives have less meaning than the rest?

@Changeisgonnacome Really? The [b]Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act[/b] or Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) was a subsection of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a United States federal law which included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms that were defined as assault weapons as well as certain ammunition magazines that were defined as large capacity. It lasted for a decade until 2004.
