House scheduled to vote on Friday on the most sweeping legislation designed to prevent gun violence in nearly 30 years after the Senate passed the bill Thursday night.
After the Senate passed the legislative package 65 to 33, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., applauded the"strong bipartisan vote" and said the House would immediately vote on the bill before lawmakers leave Washington for a two-week recess marking July Fourth."Every day, gun violence steals lives and scars communities — and this crisis demands urgent action," she said in a statement.
House GOP leaders, meanwhile, have voiced opposition to the bill, denounced by the National Rifle Association, and have been pushing members of their conference to vote against it.
