Duration: 9:28

The US House of Representatives has passed the 'Protecting Our Kids Act' (HR 7910), a comprehensive gun control package. Key provisions include a ban on large capacity magazines (over 10 rounds), raising the minimum age to purchase semi-automatic rifles and shotguns to 21, codifying the ATF's bump stock ban, and defining and banning 'ghost guns' (unserialized firearms, including 80% receivers and 3D printed firearms). The bill also seeks to challenge a Ninth Circuit ruling that struck down California's ban on 18-20 year olds purchasing semi-automatic centerfire rifles, though it includes exemptions for military and law enforcement personnel. The bill's passage in the House involved bipartisan support on certain sections, with several Republicans voting in favor of various provisions. The speaker advises contacting local representatives to voice opposition, as the bill's passage in the Senate is uncertain.

Does the 'Protecting Our Kids Act' include any exemptions for law enforcement or military personnel?

Yes, the bill includes exemptions for military and law enforcement officers aged 18-20, allowing them to use semi-automatic centerfire rifles and shotguns, while prohibiting civilians in the same age group from possessing them.
