On Friday, the House of Representatives revived a ban on semi-automatic guns. The restrictions were first put into place in 1994, on both selling and manufacturing the guns. But the restriction was lifted ten years later when the political support in congress for the ban waned.
Many Democrats blame semi-automatic firearms for the loss of life. But Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the right to keep the high powered weapons, saying they have saved lives. She challenged Democrats saying “Do you think your gun laws will cause criminals to come running to hand over the AR15’s that they possess? No, I don’t think so.”

Greene also said it was a political strategy for Democrats to campaign on, specifically calling out Jerry Nadler, and saying what the politicians care about is their campaigns, rather than Americans.
Pelosi’s House is going to allow a vote on an “assault weapons” ban, that won’t pass the Senate, just so Jerry Nadler can have something to campaign on.
They don’t care about stopping crime, securing our border, protecting our kids & our wallets, they just care about campaigns.
