Rep. Duffy Says No To Dems’ Assault Weapons Ban

By

Congressional Democrats unveiled their gun control proposal Thursday, (1/24) including reinstating the assault weapon ban that lapsed in 2004.

But at a town hall meeting Thursday (1/24) in Superior, Republican Congressman Sean Duffy says he won’t vote for a bill limiting firearms, including assault rifles: “I’m willing to look at what the President put out.

Duffy says the Democratic legislation would violate the right to bear arms.
