weapon ban
Outlawed armament policy
A weapon ban is a law or regulation prohibiting the possession, sale, or manufacture of certain weapons.
The term most often appears in debates over gun control: The assault weapon ban expired in 2004.
Weapon bans may target specific categories—automatic firearms, switchblades, chemical weapons—or apply broadly within designated areas like schools or government buildings.
