The House passed an assault weapons ban Friday evening looking to give Democrats a last-minute win on their way out the door for August recess.
Five Democrats voted against the measure - Reps. Kurt Schrader, Ore., Vicente Gonzalez, Texas, Rep. Jared Golden, Maine and Rep. Ron Kind, R-Wisc.
Two Republicans voted for the measure - Reps. Chris Jacobs, N.Y., and Brian Fitzpatrick, Pa.
The ban cleared a procedural hurdle that allowed the House to move forward with expedited debate on Friday afternoon, with a final vote expected to follow. Three Democrats - Reps. Vicente Gonzalez, Texas, Jared Golden, Maine, and Kurt Schrader, Ore., voted 'no' with all Republicans, but the resolution passed 217 -211.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi meanwhile broke out a floor sign advertising AR-15s for children as she urged members to vote in favor of the ban.
'JR 15: Get 'em one like yours,' the ad reads, along with a photo of a child-sized AR-15.
'Our goal was to develop a shooting platform that was not only sized correctly, and safe, but also looks, feels and operates just like mom and dad's gun,' the ad continues.
The weapons manufacturer Wee 1 Tactics unveiled the 'JR-15' in January.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., expressed support for the child's semi-automatic weapon on Twitter.

Cornyn, McConnell, …
McConnell and Cornyn already said no to an AWB or magazine restrictions of any kind.
Try again.
And you really think based on their recent history, especially Cornyn, that is his final answer?
Yes.
I’m, willing to bet on it too.
Are you?
You seem to forget that he recently tried to sell out gun owners. Maybe that’s inconvenient to point that out, or his repeated efforts at claiming to support second amendment when it was time to raise money for reelection. The guy is a sleazy political hack.
Again, are you willing to bet or not?
I am.
You seem to be hesitant.
Did the Senate STOP the ‘red flag laws’? How quickly we forget.
Un-Constitutional. It’s all for show, and the Democrats excuse for packing the court if they win in 2022.
