Here are the House Republicans who broke with the party on guns

(The Hill) – A handful of House Republicans bucked their party to vote for gun legislation on Wednesday, supporting measures that were introduced after the mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y. and Uvalde, Texas last month. 

The marquee piece of legislation that cleared the chamber was the Protecting Our Kids Act, a package of bills that seek to tighten gun restrictions. Among the provisions are raising the minimum age to purchase a semi-automatic weapon from 18 to 21 and banning civilians from using high-capacity magazines.

    "protect our children": making it safer for children to bring guns to school and start shooting without worrying about somebody shooting back".

    I think the major issue with the 18 yo buying long guns is simply that the moronic justice [sic] system says anything you did before 18 is sealed, as if it did not exist. Allow NICS to access the minor arrest record and psychiatric record, and most of the excuse for changing age disappears.

    There might have been a couple that had clean records and weren't on psychotropic drugs, but it would certainly have caught the majority.

      In many of these cases, the shooters were all on some kind of psychotropic drugs but that factor never gets investigated. Basically because they do not want to really find the root causes, just like immigration and all the other issues that impact our lives negatively, but are political positives for them.

    Salazar represents South Florida. While she is native-born I bet she has been influenced by the many yankees flooding South Florida. Shame on her; I guess she doesn’t have much Cuban influence in her life.

    Don't remember where I read it lately, but one pundit put it this way: "when they say 'how many more children have to die', consider it a threat."

    the Dems rarely break to vote with republicans, but the republicans cant wait to reach across the isle and screw us over. Oh how I wish I could vote against these jerks but I have to vote against democrats instead of voting for a good republican.

    How many people are killed by 18 - 20 year old drivers? I bet a lot more than 18 - 20 year olds shooting people. You can't legislate what people have in their head to do. Shit is going to happen and there ain't a damn thing they can don about it except screw us law abiding citizens. Our government sucks!
