Thomas Kean (R-N.J.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) voted no, while Reps.

Sean Casten (D-Ill.) and Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) did not vote.<\/p>\n<p>The CRA allows Congress to disapprove rules by passing a bill in both chambers and having the president sign it into law.<\/p>\n<h2>Members of Congress Weigh In<\/h2>\n<p>During a hearing the day before the House vote, Rules Committee Chair Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) told Ranking Member James McGovern (D-Mass.), who opposed the bill, that he could rest easy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a Democratic Senate and a Democratic President, so I wouldn\u2019t worry too much about what\u2019s passed into law,\u201d Cole said. \u201cAmerican Democracy\u2019s inherently chaotic from time to time, but we usually get to the right place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans argued that the ATF was trampling on the rights of disabled veterans by requiring the pistol braces be registered under the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968. They pointed out that the ATF had changed its stance on the rule several times and that Congress never considered or passed any laws concerning the devices.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas) said the rule is an unconstitutional usurpation of congressional legislative authority. He repeated the claim that the ATF turned millions of law-abiding citizens into felons \u201cwith the stroke of a pen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement released after the vote, freshman Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.) denounced the rule as ungrateful to veterans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rule disrespects disabled veterans who rely on stabilizing support in order to safely exercise their Second Amendment rights. I was proud to vote in favor of Congressman Andrew Clyde\u2019s resolution to nullify this rule and stand up for the Constitution, veterans, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/utah-axes-gun-permit-requirement\/\" title=\"Utah Axes Gun-Permit Requirement\u00a0\">law-abiding gun owners<\/a> across the country,\u201d Brecheen\u2019s statement reads.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-passes-bill-to-nullify-atf-pistol-brace-rule\/\" title=\"Bill passed by House to cancel ATF's Pistol Brace Rule.\">repeatedly invoked mass shootings<\/a> in their arguments. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) claimed the devices increase a weapon\u2019s lethality by making the gun more accurate.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said Republicans misread the Second Amendment as a \u201cpro-insurrection\u201d amendment. He said if a foreign government was killing citizens, the United States would declare war on them. According to Raskin, the \u201cwell-regulated militia\u201d is meant to protect citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to repeal the Second Amendment; we want to protect the American people from gun violence,\u201d Raskin said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House of Representatives passed a bill to cancel ATF&#8217;s rule on pistol stabilizing braces.
