We reported on Thursday evening that the Senate passed the most sweeping gun control bill in decades by a vote of 65-33. Fifteen Republicans gave up on their alleged principles and signed aboard the concerning bill, which raises a lot of issues–including with red flag laws.
Here’s a great run-down on some of the problems in the bill.
While most Republicans were against it, it was championed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).
Now, on Friday, the House has passed it in a 234 -193 vote, despite Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) whipping the Republican vote against it.
Still, 14 House Republicans voted for it, including predictable offenders like Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (RINO-IL).
234-193: House passes bipartisan gun safety bill, which now heads to President Biden for final passage.
14 GOP yes votes:
• Cheney
• Kinzinger
• Rice
• Katko
• Salazar
• Jacobs
• Fitzpatrick
• Meijer
• Upton
• Chabot
• Turner
• Joyce
• Gonzalez (OH)
