weapons ban
Outlawing dangerous tools
A weapons ban is a law or regulation prohibiting the manufacture, sale, or possession of certain weapons.
The term most often refers to restrictions on specific firearm types: The assault weapons ban expired in 2004.
Bans may also target other weapons—chemical, biological, nuclear—typically through international treaties.
Advocates pushed for a comprehensive weapons ban after the shooting.
