WASHINGTON, D.C.-The House Judiciary Committee today advanced the Assault Weapons Ban Act of 2021, sponsored by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), that would ban the sale, import, manufacture or transfer of certain semi-automatic weapons. Today's committee action marks the first markup of the assault weapons ban since 1994. The markup follows a recent string of mass shooting involving assault weapons-including the murder of 19 children in Uvalde, Texas at the hands of an AR-15. The bill passed 25 to 18, with every Republican present voting no.
