Some 30 years ago this month, on Sept. 13, 1994, H.R.3355, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, became public law.

Signed by President Bill Clinton (D), the elephantine 356-page bill was a mash-up of pork, prison, penalties, and programs of the sort commonly crafted on Capitol Hill. Its most contentious section was an amendment by U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to stop the sale and manufacture of “assault weapons” as defined through an arbitrary process of cosmetic features and the ability to accept a detachable magazine, as well as magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds.
