	Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (1994) is a piece of legislation, passed by the US Congress, which expanded Federal law in several ways.
		Other provisions of the law included a greatly expanded Federal death penalty, new classes of individual banned from possessing firearms, and a variety of new and federal offenses, in areas such as immigration law, hate crimes, sex offenses, and gang-related crime.
		Title VI, the Federal Death Penalty Act, created several new death penalty offenses, including crimes related to drug dealing, drive-by shootings which result in death, civil-rights related murders, murder of a Federal law enforcement officer, and acts of terrorism or the use of weapons of mass destruction which result in death.

		Crime Bill statisticians have obviously used computer models to project the growth of crime rates beyond the year 2000, and to ensure that none of the buildings constructed with our $10.5 billion will be vacant, the Crime Bill establishes more stringent laws and longer sentencing.
		Under the Crime Bill, 60 new offenses are punishable by death, including terrorist homicides; murder of a federal law enforcement official; and large-scale drug trafficking, drive-by shootings, and car-jackings that result in death.

		Increasing crime rates and increased public opinion that it is the [p.216] proliferation of guns on our streets that has led to the escalation of crime, have forced federal, state and local legislators to respond.
		Gun controllers believe that the Constitution is a living and breathing document that must be able to adapt to the times for which it is to govern, and because of this they assert that the Framers could not have envisioned a society where guns contribute to so much violence and serve so little social utility.
		The Gun Control Act of 1968 had two major components: a federal licensing requirement of persons manufacturing or dealing in firearms and the same requirements to be applied to other devices such as bombs, grenades and other explosive materials.

		Title XI of the Federal Violent Crime Control Act of 1994 banned the manufacture and import of a certain class of guns defined by Congress as "Assault Weapons."
