If you mean depriving law abiding citizens of their right to own firearms yes...very effective. Otherwise, nothing has been done to prevent or stop crime.

Why are automatic weapons illegal in the US?

Automatic weapons as we usually think of them are really semi-automatic. That is, you fire one bullet for each trigger pull, and the weapon charges itself with a new bullet automatically. These are not assault weapons, though most politicians think they are. Real automatic weapons will 'spray' out a stream of bullets as long as the trigger is kept pulled. These ARE considered assault weapons. They were outlawed largely because of their use by gangsters who had more firepower with them than the police did. Automatic weapons are pretty dangerous because of all the firepower they emit. The killings that you read about where "Assault" weapons have been used, have NOT used assault weapons, only semi-automatic weapons.


Can you get a concealed weapons permit in Washington State if you have an Assault 4 gross misdemeanor Non DV on your record?

(No felons are allowed to carry weapons. So if you have been jailed or been put in prison then no. If you are a felon you cannot own a weapon, period.) Assault 4 is NOT a felony, it is a gross misdemeanor, and it is being deferred, AND it is not a DV charge so it doesn't automatically fall under the category of misdemeanors that with DV that make it so you cant

What countries have assault weapon bans and what are their results?

Assault Weapons generally refer to firearms that have a burst or full auto feature. Most countries have such bans, even weapons they think look like assault weapons, and of course many countries ban personal ownership of any weapons. This is very true for countries in which the government does not enjoy the support of the people. The results have meant many governments maintaining control for much longer than they would otherwise. There have been little to no effect on crime because such weapons are very expensive and crime is a cultural matter more than access to knifes or weapons.

What are the current regulations and restrictions in place for assault weapons in the United States, and how do they compare to the regulations in other countries, such as those outlined in the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 and the subsequent expiration in ?

In the United States, regulations on assault weapons vary by state, with some states having stricter laws than others. The federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 restricted the sale and possession of certain firearms like the AR-15 and AK-47, but it expired in 2004. This has led to a lack of consistent regulations across the country. Compared to other countries, the US has more lenient regulations on assault weapons. Countries like Australia and the UK have implemented stricter gun control measures, which have been associated with lower rates of gun violence and mass shootings. The impact of regulations on public safety and gun violence rates is a topic of debate. Some argue that stricter regulations can help reduce gun violence, while others believe that it infringes on Second Amendment rights. Recent mass shootings have reignited calls for stricter gun control measures in the US.

What is attempted felonious assault and what is the max punishment?

There are two types of felony assault charges. They can either be a Class B felony or a class D felony. Class D felonies are normally misdemeanors in which minimal injury has been done to the victim by the defendant. Class B is more serious when more severe injury has been done. Penalties can range from fines, incarceration or both. This all depends on the severity of the crime, the weapons used to commit the crime, and what state it took place in.


About combat engineering Combat Assault engineers have at times been used to attack tanks with anti tank weapons and demolitions but is this normally part of their normal job?

The word "assault" would seem to imply that they are trained and equipped for assault, destroying enemy obstacles and fortifications so that a beach may be obtained for friendly assault forces. If tanks are a part of those enemy defenses, then yes, destroying them with anti-tank weapons and demolitions would also be a normal part of their job. Of course, if the enemy has no tanks in the area to be assaulted, then it is a normal part of their job which is not needed in that particular case.
