House Judiciary Committee to hold talks discussing gun reform package

Fox News congressional correspondent Aishah Hasnie gave “Special Report” on Tuesday the latest updates on potential new gun control legislation after a group of bipartisan senators continued negotiations over Zoom on their Memorial Day recess. 

AISHAH HASNIE: The House Judiciary Committee will meet Thursday to mark up a sweeping gun reform package. Democrats are calling the “protecting our kids act.” 

It includes raising the minimum purchase age for semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21. And banning new sales of high capacity ammunition magazines. Republicans are already rebuking it.
