H.R. 1808 - Assault Weapons Ban

This bill is a gross violation of the U.S. Constitution, especially the Second Amendment, which recognizes that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This is one step closer to a disarmed America — with the assistance of taxpayer dollars.

Constitutional Vote: No

Assault Weapons Ban — **Under assault:** The Second Amendment was recently targeted in the House under the guise of banning “assault” weapons.

H.R. 1808 would make it illegal to own, sell, or knowingly possess a semiautomatic “assault” weapon or “large capacity” ammunition feeding devices. It would also allow law-enforcement grants to be used for state and tribal buy-back programs for guns banned by this bill.

The House passed H.R. 1808 on July 29, 2022 by a vote of 217 to 213 (Roll Call 410). We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill is a gross violation of the U.S. Constitution, especially the Second Amendment, which recognizes that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This is one step closer to a disarmed America — with the assistance of taxpayer dollars.
