House Passes Sweeping Gun Reform Bill

The House is moving to restrict access to guns and ammo, courtesy of the "Protecting Our Kids Act," which passed last night in a 223-204 vote.

In the end, five Republicans crossed the aisle to support the measure and two Democrats voted against it.

The measure includes things like raising the minimum age to buy semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21, as well as a ban on large-capacity magazines and tougher penalties for trafficking firearms.

It also would establish residential gun storage rules, with criminal penalties for violations.

Hours after it passed, President Biden appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to discuss the issue
