Allen (GA-12) released the following statement after voting against H.R. 1808, the Assault Weapons Ban Act of 2022:\n\n\u201cThis legislation is blatantly unconstitutional. It is an attack on our Second Amendment that seeks to outlaw the most common firearms used for self-defense, target shooting, and hunting by millions of law-abiding Americans. House Democrats know as well as anyone that this legislation will do nothing to curb gun violence. When Congress last attempted to ban so-called \u2018assault weapons\u2019 in 1994, it had virtually no effect on violent crime rates. Instead, Democrats are shamelessly exploiting recent tragedies to advance their radical, gun-grabbing agenda.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:49:02Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://allen.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=5196"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8823308162391186, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
