The House passed a sweeping gun package on Wednesday in response to last month’s mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y. and Uvalde, Texas, which killed more than 30 people and reignited the push for firearm legislation on Capitol Hill.

The package, dubbed the Protecting Our Kids Act, passed in a 223-204 vote. One Republican did not vote.

Two Democrats, Reps. Jared Golden (Maine) and Kurt Schrader (Ore.), bucked the party in opposing the measure. Five Republicans — Reps. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Chris Jacobs (N.Y.) and Fred Upton (Mich.) — supported it.

Leftist gun grabbers are not interested in stopping those incidents. That is just window dressing to mask their real intentions: disarming their political opposition’s voters for a Night of the Broken Glass type event perpetrated on said voters.

FitzRINOpatrick’s vote is 100% predictable.

He has been endorsed by the Brady Bunch, Crabby Giffords, and Bloomturd’s “Everytown for Gun Safety”.

What a steaming pile of crap that guy is.

Missouri has already enacted a law that removes any and all Missouri LEO participation in such enforcement.
