"Sen. King's Legislation Balances Gun Safety and 2nd Amendment Rights Amidst Controversy"
U.S. Senator Angus King has introduced the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion (GOSAFE) Act, a bipartisan legislation aimed at curbing mass shootings while protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. The bill would regulate the sale, transfer, and manufacture of gas-operated semi-automatic weapons, establish a list of prohibited firearms, and limit high-capacity ammunition devices. It also includes exemptions for certain firearms based on their maximum ammunition capacity and proposes a voluntary buy-back program. The legislation has garnered support from Senators Martin Heinrich, Mark Kelly, and Michael Bennet, as well as gun control advocacy groups.
