Lawmakers in the House of Representatives voted in favor of raising the age from 18 to 21 for semi-automatic weapon purchases in response to the mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York. The bill stands virtually no chance of passing the Senate with a high probability of rendering it dead on arrival once it hits the Senate floor.
The 228-199 vote occurred largely along party lines, with two Democrats voting against the bill and 10 Republicans siding with the Democrat-led proposed legislation, which also prohibits the sale of ammunition magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds.
