The US House of Representatives passed a plan to ban guns.
The US House of Representatives passed a gun ban bill early Saturday, but it is unlikely that it will become law.
Members of the US House of Representatives approved a plan to ban light weapons on Saturday morning.
The plan, if enacted into law, would make it a crime to knowingly import, sell, manufacture, transfer or possess a semi-automatic weapon.
The resolution of the House of Representatives, in which the majority of seats are held by the Democrats, has a winding and possibly impossible path ahead of it to become a law. American media have written that this plan is unlikely to be approved by the Senate, whose seats are distributed 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans.
This plan was approved by 217 votes in favor and 213 votes against in the House of Representatives. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called its passage “a critical step in combating the deadly epidemic of gun violence.”
The approval of this plan took place while the results of a recent study showed that small arms manufacturing companies have collected more than 1 billion dollars in revenue over the past decade.
The results of the research conducted by the US House of Representatives were presented on Wednesday in a congressional hearing. This investigation began after a deadly shooting in Yuvaldi, Texas, killed 19 elementary school students and 2 teachers.
America is a completely exceptional country among the countries of the world in terms of gun violence statistics. The rate of violent shootings in this country is higher than any other country in the world; Although the United States accounts for about five percent of the world’s population, nearly 31 percent of those who commit mass murders with weapons are in the United States.
