I urge a ``yes'' vote for H.R. 1808. That is a fact. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1808, the ``Assault Weapons Ban of 2022,'' that would prohibit the sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of semiautomatic assault weapons and…

I think that we will spend most of our time here today where facts will be told and then rhetorical conversations will be told, as well. Fact: The Constitution, in the Second Amendment, does not prohibit the ban on assault weapons. Fact…

This bill would boost pay and benefits for firefighters, help the U.S. Forest Service fill gaps in fire management staff, expand forest management projects, and reduce hazardous fuels. I ask my colleagues to support the underlying bill…
