11 июн 1994 г. - 1994: The Brady Act and Assault Weapons Ban

Описание:

The first, the Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act, required a five-day waiting period and background check for the sale of handguns. It also required that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System be created.

The second law, the Assault Weapons Ban—officially entitled the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act—banned a number of rifles defined as “assault weapons,” including many semi-automatic and military-style rifles such as the AK-47 and SKS.
