<p>White House Press Secretary <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> claimed during Monday&#8217;s briefing that assault weapons bans work to lower the incidence of gun violence, but nationally syndicated radio host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/dana-loesch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dana Loesch</a> said otherwise — and she brought evidence.</p>
<p>Jean-Pierre responded to the news of another mass shooting in Louisville, Kentucky — this one likely a case of workplace violence brought about by a personal grievance — by calling for increased background checks and limits on magazine capacity. Jean-Pierre also argued that assault weapons bans have worked in the past.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">KJP: &quot;If you think about Assault Weapons Ban&#8230;We saw gun violence go down. When it sunset 10 years laters, it went back up!&quot; <a href="https://t.co/4TUTkUSNNP">pic.twitter.com/4TUTkUSNNP</a></p>

<p>Jean-Pierre claimed that the 1994 assault weapons ban — which President Joe Biden supported as a senator — had resulted in a drop off in gun violence, which then ticked upwards again after the ban&#8217;s sunset a decade later.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you think about assault weapons ban, we know, when we saw — when the president was involved in 1994 to get that done, we saw. We saw gun violence go down and when it sunset ten years later, it went back up,&#8221; Jean-Pierre insisted. &#8220;So we know what could work and that&#8217;s why you continue to hear the president calling on Congress to take action.&#8221;</p>
<p>But as Loesch quickly pointed out, that claim just wasn&#8217;t true – and she wasn&#8217;t the only one saying so.</p>
<p>&#8220;This literally never happened,&#8221; Loesch began, sharing a series of links to others who also explained that the 1994 assault weapons ban had not resulted in less gun violence.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>Loesch went on to say that the gun homicide rate had not changed as a result of the ban – despite the claims often made by Jean-Pierre and Biden himself – adding, &#8220;The AWB had zero, none, nada effect on the gun homicide rate. You can lie about this all you want and I&#8217;ll continue publicizing the actual facts of the matter every single time.&#8221;</p>
