— Craig Caplan (@CraigCaplan) June 8, 2022 House Republican leadership called on members to oppose the broader legislation, calling it a “reactionary package … that egregiously violates law-abiding citizens’ 2nd Amendment rights” and accusing Democrats of making “little to no effort to engage Republicans” on the substance of the issue.
Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) did leave room for Republicans to vote in favor of individual measures within the package, however, despite opposing the final, more comprehensive package.
“We know some members of our caucus who support some of those components,” he explained.
The 10 House Republicans who voted to raise the age requirement were: Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Anthony Gonzalez (OH), Chris Jacobs (NY), John Katko (NY), Adam Kinzinger (IL), Nicole Malliotakis (NY), Maria Salazar (FL), Chris Smith (NJ), Mike Turner (OH), and Fred Upton (MI).

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
