Rep. Chris Jacobs (R-N.Y.) has come out in favor of an assault weapons ban after two high-profile mass shootings in his hometown of Buffalo, N.Y., and in Uvalde, Texas, claimed more than two dozen lives in total.
Jacobs said at a press conference Friday that if a bill to ban AR-15-style weapons came to the House floor, he would vote in favor. He added that he would also back raising the required age for certain gun sales to 21, imposing a federal limit on guns’ magazine capacity and banning the sale of body armor to the public.
Jacobs received an endorsement from the National Rifle Association during his 2020 congressional run, at the time saying he was honored to receive the endorsement and vowing to serve as an “ally and fighter” for gun owners in western New York.

Fakeservatives All.
In place of assault weapons, maybe they’ll let us have surrender weapons, or retreat weapons. How about “Please don’t kill me” weapons?
That’s why these endorsements are worthless. Do you own homework, folks!
(Having said that, what would the alternative have been?)
People will not stop voting for Bush League Republicans no matter how many times they betray them.
Typical of the Surrender Party.
A coward that won’t speak to the facts
And the NRA won’t pull their endorsement, either.
You can ask Cuomo...there is a big difference between banning and compliance.
Certainly illegal doesn’t mean unavailable.
Is he running unopposed on the Republican side?
Did anyone here truly believe that the GOP would stand firm for freedom & liberty when things got rough?
Guys like this weasel are just the initial crack in the dike...
It’s all but a done deal, its just a matter if they consider everything semi automatic to be an “assault weapon” or not and if they are going to try and take existing ones.
He’s a douche.
And they’re called semi-automatic rifles, not the leftist media’s term “assualt weapons.”
Never hapen
WTF is an “assault rifle” according to their definition?
Jacobs is a hypocritical turkey.
I don’t like that McConnell told Coryn to start negotiating. But he might just be creating something he can point to and say “hey look, we tried, but the Dems wouldn’t consider any reasonable suggestions.”
The language war is heating up significantly. The left is really running with the phrasing that “we” can “remove” these “weapons of war” from “our” streets. They’re trying to create the overarching sense that guns are the government’s to take or “buy back” and other people’s legally purchased and owned property is not in fact their property, but subject to the whims of congress.
You’re forgetting something, they’re now called Weapons of War!
