The U.S. House of Representatives will vote Friday on a bill banning assault-style weapons, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a letter to lawmakers.
The latest action on guns comes after mass shootings in May at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, as well as at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois. The shootings claimed a total 38 lives and reignited a long-running national debate over guns and the constitutional protection of the right to keep and bear arms.
Pelosi did not mention the police funding bill in her letter, saying only that “immense progress in our discussions” has been made on the full package of public safety bills and that that work was continuing. That ban resulted in a significant decrease in mass shootings, according to a 2021 study by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

It's dead in the Senate no matter what happens in the House. It's a carbon copy of the demonstrably ineffective 1994 'ban' that was based on nonsense.
I can see why Pelosi wants to disarm law abiding citizens.
The pro-murder people ain’t gonna like this one bit
