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.

He salutes the flag just like Emperor Zero.
Scotus will shut this down if the Senate fails to do so. Virtually everything thing they propose to ban is in “common use” which was specifically addressed in the latest decision.
FR’s copium and denial is really sad to see. It’s just a matter of time. I also expect a mass shooting any day now to make this unstoppable. Even without one, they’ll easily find 10 GOP senators.
I lost mine in an unfortunate boating accident.
ANOTHER HOMO!!
You’re free to depart, House WINO.
Didn’t work before and I’m guessing that if passed again that it will not work again.
Maybe July will set another record.
At this point if a ban matters to someone they may as well turn in their firearms now.
To resist this law is why there is a right to own and we have the founder’s counsel.
What guns? I don’t own any guns. Who told you I own guns?
So are you, putin puffer.
Jacobs and Fitzpatrick must have been paid a bundle to ruin their careers as Republicans.
There is nothing you can do to ‘resist’ or not. It affects manufactures only, and they will comply.
Two Republicans, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn., and Chris Jacobs, R-N.Y., broke with their party to vote yes on the bill. Five Democrats, Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas; Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Oreg., and Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wisc. broke with their party to vote no.
Chris Jacobs (R-N.Y.), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.). Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio) did not vote.
So without the defector Pubs, the bill would have tied 215-215.
The FFL dealers will be forced to abide by it or lose their licenses.
Speak louder, Sorosbot puke. Tell everyone else about your bizarre and sick fetish with ladies’ underwear.
Two words. Black market.
Brian Fitzpatrick is a POS.
Speaking of, keep your sodden panties to yourself please. I know you can’t help it but try.
