Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 698) to regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.

Impact

If enacted, H.R. 698 would introduce new regulations concerning the sale, use, and ownership of assault weapons. Proponents of the legislation argue that such measures are necessary to enhance public safety and reduce gun violence. The bill seeks to clarify and limit the types of firearms classified as assault weapons, thereby aiming to control their accessibility and use in situations that pose risks to community safety.

Summary

House Resolution 452 provides for the consideration of H.R. 698, a bill aimed at regulating assault weapons and ensuring that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited. The resolution outlines the procedural steps to facilitate the debate and vote on the bill within the House of Representatives.

Contention

The discussions surrounding H.R. 452 and H.R. 698 reveal a deep division among lawmakers. Advocates for gun control emphasize the necessity of regulating assault weapons to protect citizens, especially in the wake of numerous mass shootings.

The debate encapsulates larger national conversations about gun rights, responsibilities, and the government's role in regulating weapons.
