House Passes "Assault Weapons" Ban. What Next?
And why soft-on-the-Second Republicans don't belong in the Senate.
The House just passed H.R. 1808, or the “assault weapons” ban with a vote of 217-213. The five Democrats who voted against it include Cuellar (TX), Gonzalez (TX), Schrader (OR), Kind (WI), Golden (ME) with two Republicans voting for it: Fitzpatrick (PA), Jacobs (NY).
Democrats applauding the vote is a free campaign ad.
