From July 29, 2022 post
Today, Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) helped pass H.R.1808, the Assault Weapons Ban Act of 2021, which would ban the sale, import, manufacture or transfer of certain semi-automatic weapons.
"Reinstating a ban on the sale of assault weapons is an important step to save lives and promote public safety," said Congressman Chris Pappas. "We are not powerless to do something about the senseless gun violence and mass shootings we see all across our country, and this legislation to keep dangerous, military-style weapons off our streets is a common sense measure that received bipartisan support today. Keeping our children and communities safe must be our top priority."
Background:
In June, Pappas voted for the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first significant federal gun safety bill in nearly 30 years to expand background check, close loopholes in gun ownership, and fund mental health services.
In June, Pappas also helped pass The Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2022, which safely removes firearms from those who should not have them while preserving an individual's due process rights, and creates a new grant program to assist states and local governments to implement and carry out similar legislation, known as "red flag" laws.
