HR 2494 makes it an automatically deportable offense for illegal immigrants who assault police, while HR 3091 allows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-passes-bill-to-deport-illegal-immigrants-who-assault-police\/\" title=\"Bill passed to deport illegal immigrants who assault police.\">retired federal law enforcement officers<\/a> to purchase surplus federal weapons.<\/p>\n<h3>Democratic Opposition<\/h3>\n<p>However, Democrats opposed the bills largely over Republican refusals to amend HR 3091 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-checking-bidens-latest-gun-control-press-conference\/\" title=\"Fact-Checking Biden\u2019s Latest Gun Control Press Conference\">require background checks<\/a> for officers who wish to purchase firearms. They also claimed that HR 2494 would unfairly target those with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/schumer-blasts-biden-for-haitian-deportations\/\" title=\"Schumer Blasts Biden for Haitian Deportations\">valid asylum claims<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Passing of HR 3091<\/h3>\n<p>HR 3091 passed on a vote of 232 to 198, with 219 Republicans and 13 Democrats voting yes, and 198 Democrats and no Republicans voting against the measure. Three Republicans and two Democrats didn\u2019t vote.<\/p>\n<h3>Republican Expansion of HR 3091<\/h3>\n<p>Republicans raised Democratic ire by expanding HR 3091 to allow retired federal law enforcement officers to purchase more than just their service weapons at lower than fair market value.<\/p>\n<h3>Democratic Opposition to \u201cPoison Pill\u201d Amendments<\/h3>\n<p>Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) called on Democrats to oppose the bills over what he called the Republicans\u2019 \u201cpoison pill\u201d amendments. He said that a similar bill had been introduced during the 117th Congress, which required officers to undergo a background check before making their purchase.<\/p>\n<h3>Republican Counterarguments<\/h3>\n<p>Rep. Russell Fry (R-S.C.) countered that the officers have been trusted with the weapons in their work and that the plan would help the government recoup part of its initial investment in the weapons instead of costing it $8 million to destroy the guns.<\/p>\n<h3>Republican Amendments<\/h3>\n<p>Republicans amended the bill to allow all retired federal law enforcement officers to purchase any federally-owned weapons that are declared surplus at salvage value rather than fair market value. Those amendments were offered by Rep. Morgan Luttrell (R-Texas), Matthew Rosendale (R-Mont.), and Richard McCormick (R-Ga.), respectively.<\/p>\n<h3>Passing of HR 2494<\/h3>\n<p>The House also approved HR 2494, which makes the assault of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/georgia-secretary-of-state-investigating-voter-registration-group-run-by-democrat-raphael-warnock\/\" title=\"Georgia Secretary Of State Investigating Voter Registration Group Run By Democrat Raphael Warnock\">law enforcement officer<\/a> by an illegal immigrant an automatically deportable offense. The bill passed on a vote of 255 to 75, with 219 Republicans and 36 Democrats voting yes. Zero Republicans and 175 Democrats voting against the measure.
