"In 2000, then presidential candidate George W. Bush pledged that he would work for the renewal of the assault weapons ban. With just four days left before that ban expires, it is clear that he intends to break that promise. He has broken his promise to all of us, but most importantly, he has broken his promise to the hundreds of thousands of law enforcement personnel across the country, who work to protect us every day," Senator Clinton said. The Senator added, "Assault weapons are a clear threat to law enforcement. Assault weapons kill police officers. The statistics are chilling - one in five law enforcement officers slain in the line of duty is killed with an assault weapon. The assault weapons ban is a public safety initiative that works. According to a report issued by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, the assault weapons ban passed ten years ago has resulted in a substantial decline in the use of those weapons in crimes. Furthermore, the assault weapons ban doesn't prevent anyone who can otherwise own a gun from owning one."

Assault weapons are designed for one purpose and for one purpose only and that is to kill people. To protect our law enforcement officials, to protect our safety, we cannot let this law expire. We must reauthorize the ban on assault weapons,"
