The House Judiciary Committee announced Friday that it will hold votes on a series of gun violence prevention bills on September 4, the week before Congress returns from recess.
The bills the committee is set to take up include measures that would ban high-capacity ammunition magazines, "red flag" legislation, which would enable court orders to intervene and temporarily prevent someone who is in crisis from having access to a firearm, as well as a bill to prevent individuals convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes from purchasing firearms. The committee also announced that it will hold a hearing on "military-style assault weapons" on September 25.
Action by the House Judiciary Committee on gun legislation will give Democrats another opportunity to spotlight the issue of gun violence in the aftermath of two recent mass shootings in one weekend that left 31 people dead. https://fox59.com/2019/08/16/house-judiciary-committee-announces-vote-on-gun-violence-bills-before-end-of-recess/ |
