Allen | A000372 | allen.house.gov | allen | https://allen.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | Washington – Today, Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) released the following statement after voting against H.R. 1808, the Assault Weapons Ban Act of 2022: “This 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 ‘assault weapons’ 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.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |
