Greg Stanton voted Thursday in the House Judiciary Committee to advance H.R. 7910, the Protecting Our Kids Act\u2014a comprehensive gun violence prevention package aimed to help prevent future mass casualty shootings.\n\n\u201cCongress has failed to act on gun violence for far too long, and the human toll is devastating. I always have and will continue to support common-sense reforms to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them while respecting the rights of law-abiding citizens,\u201d Stanton said.\n\nStanton said that is working with House leadership to amend one component of the package as it moves to the floor: Limiting capacity for magazines for handguns to 10 rounds. Legislation should reflect the difference between the lethal capacity of semiautomatic rifles and handguns, he said, and the capacity limit for handguns should exceed 10 rounds so that it does not prevent responsible gun owners from effectively using widely-purchased handguns to protect their homes.\n\nThe Protecting Our Kids Act would\n\nRaise the lawful age to purchase a semiautomatic centerfire rifle from 18 to 21 years old;\n\nEstablish new federal offenses for gun trafficking and straw purchasers and authorize seizure of the property and proceeds of the offense;\n\nEstablish requirements to regulate the storage of firearms on residential premises as well as criminal penalties for violation of the requirements;\n\nBuild on ATF\u2019s regulatory bump stock ban by listing bump stocks under the National Firearms Act and statutorily banning the manufacture, sale, or possession of bump stocks for civilian use; and\n\nBuild on ATF\u2019s regulatory ban of so-called ghost guns by ensuring that ghost guns are subject to existing federal firearm regulation by amending the definition of \u201cfirearm\u201d to include gun kits and partial receivers and changing the definition of \u201cmanufacturing firearms\u201d to include assembling firearms using 3D printing.\n\nThe bill now heads to the House floor.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:39:01Z"]], "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://stanton.house.gov/2022/6/stanton-votes-to-advance-common-sense-gun-reform-package"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9218566119670868, "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"}
