‘This Literally Never Happened’: Dana Loesch Levels Karine Jean-Pierre Over Assault Weapons Ban

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed during Monday’s briefing that assault weapons bans work to lower the incidence of gun violence, but nationally syndicated radio host Dana Loesch said otherwise — and she brought evidence.

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.

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’s sunset a decade later.
