The head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) told Congress on Tuesday that he believes a so-called assault weapons ban could prevent some high-profile shootings.
FBI Director Kash Patel expressed his view to the Senate Judiciary Committee during a wide-ranging oversight hearing. In an exchange with Senator Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), Patel agreed that an “assault weapon ban,” which commonly targets popular firearms like the AR-15, could stop some killings. However, he stopped short of endorsing any specific legislative proposals.
