The Assault Weapons Ban of 2021 was approved in a House committee, passing 25-18. The fate of this bill on the floor of the House is uncertain though. Jerry Nadler is the chairman for this committee. He stated that assault weapons, combined with high-capacity magazines, are the choice weapons for mass shootings.<\/p>\n

“As we have learned all too well in recent years, assault weapons — especially when combined with high-capacity magazines — are the weapon of choice for mass shootings,” committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said during the bill’s markup. “These military-style weapons are designed to kill the most people in the shortest amount of time. Quite simply, there is no place for them on our streets.”<\/p>\n

Ranking member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued the bill would take away upstanding gun owners’ rights.<\/p>\n

“Democrats know this legislation will not reduce violent crime or reduce the likelihood of mass shootings, but they are obsessed with attacking law-abiding Americans’ Second Amendment liberties,” he said.<\/p>\n

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said, “They’re coming for your guns.”<\/p>\n

The bill would make it a crime to “import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon (SAW) or large capacity ammunition feeding device,” according to the bill’s summary. A few exceptions would be made.<\/p>\n

It would not include any “firearm that is (1) manually operated by bolt, pump, lever, or slide action; (2) permanently inoperable; (3) an antique; or (4) a rifle or shotgun specifically identified by make and model.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
