firearm ban
Weapon possession outlawed
A firearm ban is a law or policy prohibiting the possession, sale, or manufacture of certain guns or all guns.
Bans may target specific weapon types: The assault weapons ban expired in 2004.
The term appears frequently in debates over gun control, where opponents frame restrictions as bans regardless of scope: They want to ban all firearms.
