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.

As if the Democrats didn’t have enough to worry about in November. Will cost them an additional 10 seats. Self-inflicted wound.
SCOTUS has already settles the issue. Makes no difference what law Congress passes and signed by Biden.
Expect a direct petition to SCOTUS and and a very quick decision declaring any such law unconstitutional.
After the first AWB in '94, some clever people were selling 10 rd mags that were the same dimensions as 30 rd mags. There was a little metal tab that prevented the feed chute from accepting more than 10 rounds. All it took was a screwdriver to pry that tab out and you now had a fully-functional 30 round magazine.
Scotus didn’t strike it down the last time.
Ah, there’s the disgusting pervert Sorosbot troll.
Guns without Chinese made CV-19 facial diapers and bore swabs are really really dangerous to the vaccinated.
You started it, then whine.. Weird old lady.
I started nothing, pervert. You just exposed yourself as a DU/Sorosbot and Plugs the Pedophile worshipper.
By being pro-gun and a realist? Right.. You just can’t stop replying to me.
No, we have Crickets for the kids.
How much are you willing to bet? It's easy to make predictions without anything on the line.
Then what? The price of an AR will skyrocket; who’ll turn any of them in?
Get rid of Jacobs and Fitzpatrick vote them out and find out what criminal skeletons they are hiding in their closet. Prosecute them after removing them from office.
I wouldn’t bet of course, but I’d say at least a 50/50 chance this will be the law of the land shortly.
Glad I stocked up on those fancy new AK-15s that Indiana coach recommended.
Nobody turns them in on this stuff. They just can’t make or sell new ones. That does mean the ‘pre-ban’ ones skyrocket, especially the magazines.
Why won’t you bet? You are making prognostications of doom, but don’t seem to want any consequences if you are wrong.
They sure won’t turn them in, in the hood, and they won’t even try to go in there and take them.
So guess who will have the guns, and who won’t have the guns?
But I take your broader point. There is nothing anyone can do to make it any better or even stay the same.
The end is etched in every obelisk.
Do you bet on everything you make a prediction on? Need help with a gambling problem?
The same political party that favors INFANTICIDE AFTER BIRTH pretends to care about children.
Fixed it.
