Intervention comes after a mass shooting in Monterey Park, California, and a pair of shootings near Half Moon Bay, California
In response to the tragedies, one of California’s senators, Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, has reintroduced a federal assault weapons ban and a bill raising the minimum purchase age for assault weapons to 21.
“I once again urge both chambers of Congress to act quickly and deliver this Assault Weapons Ban to my desk, and take action to keep American communities, schools, workplaces, and homes safe.” House Democrats passed an assault weapons ban last year, when they still controlled the lower chamber. But the bill stalled in the Senate and never made it to Biden’s desk.
