The federal Assault Weapons ban started in 1994 and ran for 10 years.

Assault Rifles have universal background checks complete with fingerprints, a multi-month waiting period, and a $200 transfer tax - and have since the 1930s. No new assault rifles have been available for civilian purchase in almost 40 years.

And for that matter the most advanced artificial brains screw up math on a regular basis too
