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.

How much Stock Shares do ge es Your old Man own?
And the shoulder thing that goes up.
Time to build - it’s cheaper, untraceable and a great way to spend a weekend.
They just passed a gun bill and a climate change bill.
“The same political party that favors murdering babies til the second they are born pretends to care about children.”
Ironic, isn’t it?
Those Republicans are turn coat TRAITORS and need to be expunged from the party immediately.
The vote would’ve been 215-215 if they hadn’t crossed over and betrayed the Republic.
3d printers are cheap, filament has come a long way.
Kudos to Kurt Schrader. May Pete DeFazio get the monkey pox. .
My GAYDAR is going off!!
Gee, Americans own upwards of 27 million AR-15s and millions more models of rifles that would qualify as “assault weapons” under this bill.
If they are all suddenly illegal to own what on Earth will they do with them? :)
OMG!!!! My GAYDAR is OFF THE CHARTS!!
Yeah I’m surprised too this bill is such garbage even that scum bag wants no part of it
Where are the 60 votes going to come from in the Senate?
“The same political party that favors murdering babies til the second they are born pretends to care about children.”

Just change the ‘bayonet lug’ to a ‘coat hanger lug’.
They will love the AR-15, Abortion Rifle-15.

Post of the day.
NO FREAKING KIDDING!!! What MAN POSES like that?
They won’t be illegal to own, just to manufacture new ones. The market for them will dry up by attrition and hoarding, especially the standard cap magazines.
The 2nd amendment is doomed...and the senate will pass it! Keep an eye open for another shooting to really secure passage!! It will happen!!
You got a ‘JR-15’ in store?
