US House passes gun-safety legislation as court expands gun rights
The US Representative Council on Friday issued a significant weapons security law for the first time in three decades, sending it to President Joe Biden to sign, the day after the Supreme Court’s decision which widely expanded weapons.
The DPR chose 234-193 for the bill. No Democrats were opposed, while 14 Republicans supported the action. It is supported by the main law enforcement groups and their journey is a rare defeat for the U.S. weapons producers. and national rifle associations.
The DPR’s actions followed the Senate Senate on Thursday night 65-33 to pass the bill, with 15 Republicans, including the leader of the Match McConnell Mitch Senate, supporting.
Biden will sign the bill on Saturday morning, the White House said.
Weapons control has long been a problem that divides in the United States with many efforts to place new controls on the sale of weapons that fail from time to time until Friday.
The bill did not step as far as Democrats, including Biden, had been sought. This includes provisions that will help countries keep weapons away from their hands that are considered dangerous to themselves or others and close the girlfriend’s gap by blocking the sale of weapons to those who are punished for abusing unmarried intimate partners. However, it does not prohibit the sale of attack styles or magazines with high capacity.
“Legislation … Including a few strong steps to save lives, not only from the terrible mass shooting but also from the daily massacre of weapons, suicide and tragic accidents,” said Parliament speaker Nancy Pelosi during the debate.
This bill did take several steps on background checks by allowing access, for the first time, for information about significant crime committed by adolescents. It also takes action against weapons sales to buyers who are punished for domestic violence. This gives new federal funds to countries that manage the “red flag” law intended to eliminate weapons from people who are considered dangerous to themselves and others.
Brady Gun Control Group describes “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act” as “Law on the Prevention of Violence of the strongest weapons in the last 30 years,” and quoted “100 people killed with weapons every day” in America. Many of deaths are the result of suicide.
“Today they (Democrats) came after the freedom of the amendment to the law of American who obeyed,” said representative of Jim Jordan, a senior republic at the DPR’s Justice Committee. He refers to the constitutional rights to “maintain and bear weapons” that conservatives argue must be widely protected.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court, with a majority conservative 6-3, dropped the boundaries of the state of New York to carry hidden guns outside the home. The court found that the law, which was imposed in 1913, was not constitutional.
The verdict and weapon security laws passed on Friday illustrates a deep gap in firearms in the United States, a few weeks after the shooting of Uvalde and Buffalo which killed more than 30 people, including 19 small children in elementary schools.
The National Rifle Association, the lobby of the most powerful weapons in the country, stated that the court decided on a “monumental victory” for the owner of American weapons.
On Friday attacked the Bill which was approved by the Congress, calling it a “unreasonable” weapon control action that “will only violate the rights to obey the law.”
The law ratified by the congress is seen as a simple scope for countries with the highest ownership of weapons per capita in the world and the highest number of mass shootings every year among rich countries.
In 2020, weapons mortality rates in the United States jumped 35% to the highest point since 1994, with a deadly rate especially for black youth, the Center for U.S. Disease Control and Prevention Center.
