Maloney, Tonko vote for assault weapons ban, Stefanik opposes

Aug 01, 2022 1:00 am

On July 29 the U.S. House of Representatives voted 217-213, mostly on party lines, to ban assault weapons. Only five Democrats voted against the ban, while two Republicans voted for it. Locally, Democrats Sean Maloney and Paul Tonko voted for the bill, while Republican Elise Stefanik voted against. No vote was cast from the 19th Congressional District, as Antonio Delgado resigned months ago to become lieutenant governor. The bill -- banning military-grade weapons that shoot multiple rounds and are not suited to hunting -- is not expected to pass the Senate.
