This study examines the social issues involved with soft gun control policies in the United States with a specific focus on assault weapons and LCM's (large capacity magazines). Using scholarly articles I will highlight the magnitude of the problem, those affected and the costs of the issue. I will show just cause as to why the United States needs to reinstate the federal assault weapon ban and suggest solutions to the over all problem. For the purpose of this study "Assault Weapon" means any gun that is considered to be a semi-automatic and "LCM's" are magazines capable of caring more then 10 rounds. Over 30,000 people die in the United States from gun violence. The ease of obtaining guns, the war on drugs, impoverished neighborhoods, the economy, all are major factors in why this social problem still exists. I will show solutions to solving this problem to help reduce the number of lives taken by gun violence.
