With a plan in the House to approve a range of gun control proposals in coming weeks, most of the Democrats on Capitol Hill are also backing a ban on "assault weapons."
In the House, H.R.1296 has 201 Democrats signed on as co-sponsors along with a sole Republican - U.S. Rep. Peter King of New York. Meanwhile, in the Senate, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein's SB 66 has 30 co-sponsors among fellow Dems and those who caucus with them.
The twin measures are the most ambitious bans proposed in recent years. They would bar the importation, production, or transfer of 205 firearms by name to include a myriad of semi-auto AR-15 and AK-47 variants.
