To the Editor,
Mr. Hanken’s letter on gun control made several points which are not supported by the facts.
We must remember that, after a 10-year ban on the sale of such weapons ended, the Department of Justice concluded that renewing assault weapons and magazine bans would have an effect on gun violence that is “small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement. Assault weapons were rarely used in crime even before the ban.”
