House passes sweeping gun bill to raise assault rifle purchase age to 21; plan faces long odds in the Senate

The House on Wednesday passed a sweeping gun bill that would raise the minimum age to purchase an assault rifle in the U.S. from 18 to 21, even though the legislation doesn’t stand much of a chance in the Senate.

The bill, called the Protecting Our Kids Act, would also bar the sale of large-capacity magazines and institute new rules that dictate proper at-home gun storage.

The Democratic-held chamber approved the legislation in a 223-204 vote. It passed in a mostly party line vote: Five Republicans supported the measure, while two Democrats opposed it.

The House earlier voted by a 228 to 199 margin to include the purchasing age provision — under heavy scrutiny after two recent massacres carried out by 18-year-olds — in the broader bill.

The package is a collection of several pieces of legislation designed to limit access to guns and other firearm equipment in the wake of last month’s mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, that left 31 Americans dead.

Need to raise the minimum age to become a politician to about 150.

ONE Democrat, Jared Golden, voted Nay.

Maybe he's worth calling up and giving thanks to?

I doubt he has done much good as a US Rep, but this was courageous because he got in the way of Democrats' ability to say it was unanimous.

For context, 8 Republicans voted Yea.

Fitzpatrick
Gonzalez (OH) (not seeking re-election, good riddance!)
Jacobs (NY) (not seeking re-election, good riddance!)
Katko (not seeking re-election, good riddance!)
Kinzinger (not seeking re-election, good riddance!)
Malliotakis
Smith (NJ) (Please Primary him OUT on June 7th!)
Upton (not seeking re-election, good riddance!)

F them.

[TheTexan]

The bill, called the Protecting Our Kids Act,

They should call it,

the "Lets Turn Millions of Law Abiding Citizens into Felons So They Have Nothing Else To Lose and We Can Finally Light This Powder Keg On Fire" Act

Texas and Florida need to pass nullification bills. With teeth.

As for teeth... my suggestion would be: "All Federal raids must be done under the command and supervision of the Texas Sheriff's department and anyone planning or participating in unauthorized raids will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of Texas law."

I'm not sure what that would accomplish, besides poking the bear... but then again, I like poking bears.

Sounds good to me
