Lucy McBath, a Democrat from Georgia whose son was shot and killed at a gas station by a man who thought he was playing his music too loudly, backed the House bill with California Democrat Salud Carbajal. The vote was 224-202. Five Republicans – Fred Upton of Michigan, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Chris Jacobs of New York – NY. Democratic Rep. Jared Golden of Maine voted against it. The bill is part of the House Democrats’ push for gun control in the wake of the recent mass shootings, although the fate of any legislation lies in the Senate amid widespread Republican opposition. On Wednesday, Parliament passed legislation that would raise the legal age for the purchase of certain semi-automatic central rifles from 18 to 21, introduce new federal offenses for arms trafficking and the sale of large-capacity magazines, and allow local governments to escape. the persons who deliver such. periodically through a repurchase program. House Democrats’ efforts to pass gun safety legislation come as a bipartisan Senate team works to find a package that could garner 60 votes in the Senate to pass legislation after the tragic shooting at the Uvalde school and the shooting. at the Buffalo Supermarket. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, the Democratic leader in bipartisan negotiations on gun security reform, told CNN that he believes there will be more than 10 Republicans supporting gun security reform in the Senate. “I think we’re going to put together a package that gets more than 10 Republican votes,” John Berman told CNN’s New Day on Thursday. Hours after Murphy said he hoped a deal would be reached this week, a top GOP negotiator poured cold water on those plans. Senator John Cornyn, the GOP chief negotiator for gun legislation, told CNN “no” and did not expect an arms deal this week. “But having said that, we are making good progress,” he added. On what is being discussed, Murphy said federal red flag laws, such as the one he just passed in Parliament on Thursday, are not on the table in discussions with Republicans. These laws, which currently exist in 19 states, allow a judge to temporarily remove the weapons of someone who is considered a threat to himself or others. “I think there was some prolonged confusion,” Murphy said. “Previous proposals have proposed a federal law on the red flag. I never thought it was a good idea. I do not think you want law enforcement to have to go to federal courts to temporarily remove firearms from a dangerous to clear up some of the confusion around what we are proposing. “ He added: “We are talking about providing incentives for the state laws on the red flag and providing substantial funding for their implementation.” CNN’s Manu Raju contributed to this report.
