US House Passes Gun Bill
The House voted on Wednesday to pass extensive gun legislation that would increase the minimum age to purchase some guns, regulate “ghost guns” and restrict the number of rounds allowed in a gun magazine.
The “Protecting our Kids Act,” which the House voted on in multiple parts, ultimately passed 223-204.
The legislation defines a “large capacity ammunition feeding device” as any magazine that has an overall capacity of “more than 10 rounds of ammunition.” It would also create a buy-back program for these types of devices. That portion of the legislation passed 220-207.
The House also voted 228-199 to raise the age to purchase certain guns to 21.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) would allow for the “seizure and forfeiture” of firearms that are improperly stored of “large capacity feeding devices.”
A more bipartisan portion of the legislation would require annual reports on the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The measure was supported 380-47.
The 50-50 Senate is unlikely pass the bill, as 60 votes are needed for it to overcome a filibuster.
