Gun control policy of the Clinton Administration
The Gun control policy of the Clinton Administration, was the White House's domestic policy on guns during Bill Clinton's term in office as President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Gun control was a major political issue in the first half of Clinton's first term and during that time he lobbied for, and signed, two major pieces of gun control legislation, the Brady Bill and the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban.
== Background ==
After receiving the Democratic nomination for president, Clinton campaigned against George H. W. Bush, in the fall of 1992. In the six previous elections, Republicans had garnered enormous success by labeling their opponents as "soft on crime". Democrats had not used gun control in the past as an election issue. Clinton reversed the tide by using gun control as an issue and calling Bush soft on crime for not pushing for passage of the Brady Bill or the nationwide assault weapons ban.〔(Battle Over the Brady Bill )〕 Clinton also strongly endorsed the death penalty.〔Vizzard, William. ''Shots in the Dark''. Lanham MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2000. ISBN 0-8476-9559-X〕 Bush called for " Going after the criminal not the gun owner". However, on March 15, 1989, less than two months after taking office, Bush temporarily banned, by executive order, the importation of various semi-automatic assault weapons.〔()〕 That ban was extended a few weeks later to include additional firearms,〔()〕 and was made permanent by Bush in July, 1989.〔()〕 Clinton won the 1992 election with 43% of the vote.
