The bill would ban high capacity ammunition magazines. The man who killed six people and shot 18 others including Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in Tucson was tackled when he had to reload. Just before his 33-round magazine was emptied he shot a 9-year-old girl, killing her. — PolitiTweet.org

It would raise the age to purchase many semiautomatic rifles - including AR-15 models - from 18 to 21. I am a cosponsor of the Assault Weapons Ban, and support fully banning these weapons of war from civilian use, but raising the minimum purchase age would also save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The bill would establish new federal offenses and penalties for straw purchasing and gun trafficking. Many guns used in crimes in cities like Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C. are purchased in places with weaker gun restrictions and then transported across state lines. — PolitiTweet.org
