The House of Representatives has passed H.R. 1808, an assault weapons ban bill, with a vote of 217-213. The bill saw 215 Democrats vote 'yay' and 5 vote 'nay', while 2 Republicans voted 'yay' and 208 voted 'nay'. The bill now moves to the Senate, where its passage is uncertain due to a lack of a companion bill and potentially less support. The speaker expresses concern that the bill disregards constitutional rights and Supreme Court rulings like Bruin, Heller, and McDonald.
