WASHINGTON (AP) — The House passed legislation Friday to revive a ban on certain semi-automatic guns, the first vote of its kind in years and a direct response to the firearms often used in the crush of mass shootings ripping through communities nationwide.
Once banned in the U.S., the high-powered firearms are now widely blamed as the weapon of choice among young men responsible for many of the most devastating mass shootings. But Congress allowed the restrictions first put in place in 1994 on the manufacture and sales of the weapons to expire a decade later, unable to muster the political support to counter the powerful gun lobby and reinstate the weapons ban.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed the vote toward passage in the Democratic-run House, saying the earlier ban “saved lives.”
President Joe Biden hailed the House vote, saying, “The majority of the American people agree with this common sense action.” He urged the Senate to “move quickly to get this bill to my desk.”

Yep. No better way to flood the streets with AR-15's than to send a DOA bill banning them to the Senate.And…AR15 sales will explode.
Even though it will never pass the Senate.

It has no chance of seeing the Senate floor.
Especially stupid bills.Of course not and that's what you and the other Republicans like. You are no independent, you enjoy bills not getting a vote. It's why you are a fake independent. You cheer when McTurtle kills a bill and doesn't bring it to the floor for a vote.

The chance of this bill getting 60 votes in the Senate is zero and is not dependent on any DP poster’s political lean.
It will go to a vote, you just won’t have enough of them for it to pass. Demanding things go your way is something a dictator does, so you might want to check your authoritarian tendencies at the door.To you maybe, which is why you hate Democracy. If you truly believed in our nation you would let it go to a vote and let it's outcome be known. Instead you prefer ONE person, McTurtle, having the say. Your actions are no better than a dictator.

Says you, let the number of Republicans who support it be known. As I said and now have proven, you actually hate democracy and like the fact ONE person kills a bill. Pathetic, but then you are a FAKE Libertarian because Libertarians I know want Bills to be voted on. Change your lean to Republican or Conservative since you are unable to support Democracy.
The highly partisan vote was 217 to 213. Two Republicans voted in favor, including Chris Jacobs (NY) and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), while five Democrats voted against, including Henry Cuellar (TX), Jared Golden (ME), Vicente Gonzalez (TX), Kurt Schrader (OR) and Ron Kind (WI).
