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.

Well I suppose if there is any good side, the Republican opposition was pretty much universal. So that bodes extremely poorly for it in the Senate and demonstrates that the media gun control push isn’t swaying even Republican’s in democrat states and districts.
This is why we have stupid laws; lawmakers who do not consider the law of unintended consequences and push bills using emotion.
I sure hope you’re right.
Just when we all thought we were going to get the house back the bastard Republicans pulled this chit! Don’t ever ever count your chickens before they hatch when it’s our stupid SOB representatives ... red wave my @ss! People will have a reason to stay home and not vote...what’s the difference between a democrat and a republican at the hill none zip zero. They’re all the same backstabbing anti-American cesspool swamp bastards! The evil POS RATS played it perfectly again !! The trap was set and the Cowardly backstabbing RINOS fell right into it!
Fred Upton. That pissant is on the way out. But he can’t resist leaving one in the punchbowl.
I think your a du plant.
Think all you want I’ve been here longer than most of y’all. Since the conception a free republic.
The need to make MASSIVE signs..everywhere. GUN FREE ZONE. People need to see that GUNS ARE NOT PROHIBITED. Wonder if this could help. Passing gun laws... ? Not sure with the good guys not being able to bear arms how this will work out. It hasn’t been very GOOD in Mexico. Nice lawful people can’t have guns. Only the Narcos, Thugs and Thieves. Well, I guess if gun laws helped, Detroit, Chicago, Washington DC and Baltimore would be real safe. Just saying..using logic and all. Politics aside.
Did anyone get to read it. Rinos don’t read.
Better to be alive than adhere to a law that doesn’t adhere to our Constitution!
Enough resources to put a child grooming pedo drag queen in every school but not an armed guard.
If they catch You,,,
I spent 20 yrs Behind Enemy lines and escaped to Arizona and believe me when I finally crossed the state
Line,,, I yelled FREEDOM like Mel Gibson in
BRAVE HEART !
We may Yet see it.
Not really true, the criminals will still have Guns to defend themselves and threaten others. The law abiding citizens will be reduced to defenseless targets. Exactly what the demontats want.

I am surprised that Illinois Democrats gerrymandered the regrettable Adam Kinzinger out of a job, considering how often he sides with them.
Good thought.
