The House passed a sweeping gun package on Wednesday in response to last month’s mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y. and Uvalde, Texas, which killed more than 30 people and reignited the push for firearm legislation on Capitol Hill.
The package, dubbed the Protecting Our Kids Act, passed in a 223-204 vote. One Republican did not vote.
Two Democrats, Reps. Jared Golden (Maine) and Kurt Schrader (Ore.), bucked the party in opposing the measure. Five Republicans — Reps. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Chris Jacobs (N.Y.) and Fred Upton (Mich.) — supported it.

It’s not going to stop another incident...that’s for sure.
Protecting our kids by making everyone equally defenseless.
Making Sure You Can’t Protect Your Kids Act is more honest.
its just posturing for the midterms since there is zero chance of it getting 60 votes in the Senate.
Didn’t take long for Nancy to pull that one out of her butt
Definitely...
Not only that, no able to defend yourself or your family at
home either.
It will be open season on good honest citizens.
Can we say Australia, Canada, China etc. Are we going to let these insane people turn us over to tyrants?
Are you sure about that?
I can see our team running like rats in all directions.
Did any of these idiots read it , nope
I will not comply without even reading it.
does this bill do anything besides raise the age to buy a weapon to 21 ?
Agreed. Any bill or law or policy that is offensive to a plain understanding of the US Constitution is void on its face and ought not be obeyed, let alone enforced.
The constitution simply enumerates a few of our natural, God given rights and therefore cannot abridge or remove any of them, especially those essential rights the 10 amendments clearly define.
The Supreme court was just put on notice that if they touch any of the Dem’s stuff they could be shot
It’s all for show. They’re trying to prop up Biden and by extension, themselves. They’re trying to look like they’re “doing something” when the reality is, they’re doing NOTHING.
You can train in the military with automatic and semi-automatic weapons at 18, but can you come home and hunt with dad's semi-automatic .308 Winchester?
The House package would raise the minimum age for buying a semi-automatic weapon from 18 to 21, prohibit civilian use of ammunition magazines with more than 15 rounds, and enact new federal criminal offenses for gun trafficking and straw purchases of firearms — when an individual who is unable to pass a background check buys a gun through a proxy.
It also seeks to require that ghost guns — firearms that are untraceable and do not have serial number — undergo background checks and receive serial numbers, impose a ban on bump stocks for civilians, and bolster storage of guns in homes where minors may have access to the firearm.
Additionally, the package compels the attorney general to submit a report to congressional committees on the individuals who were deemed ineligible to purchase a firearm by a background check.

So I can’t use my existing 17-round Glock mag?
I will defend my family at home, there is no compromise on that.
Since when has any law stopped anyone?
I agree.
I think along the same lines.
