House passes assault-style weapons ban

It bans the sale and transfer of standard capacity magazines and weapons that are in common use. It’s chances in the Senate are slim, though not nonexistent; Biden will of course sign it. If it gets that far hopefully the Supreme Court will tear it apart before it can foment a civil war.

There were a few Dems who had some sense:

Democrats Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Ron Kind of Wisconsin, Vicente Gonzalez of Texas and Kurt Schrader of Oregon voted against the ban.

And there were sadly some backstabbers:

Republicans Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Chris Jacobs of New York voted for the bill.
