WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas (NH-01) helped pass H.R.1808, the Assault Weapons Ban Act of 2021, which would ban the sale, import, manufacture or transfer of certain semi-automatic weapons.

“Reinstating a ban on the sale of assault weapons is an important step to save lives and promote public safety,” said Congressman Chris Pappas. “We are not powerless to do something about the senseless gun violence and mass shootings we see all across our country, and this legislation to keep dangerous, military-style weapons off our streets is a common sense measure that received bipartisan support today. Keeping our children and communities safe must be our top priority.”
