Buffalo, Uvalde

Congressman Chris Jacobs (R-NY), who was endorsed by the National Rifle Association in 2020, said he would support a ban on assault weapons following two horrific mass shootings at a grocery store in New York and an elementary school in Texas.

Jacobs made the remarks — a contradiction to the Republican party's staunch stance on gun laws — during a news conference on Friday.

“If an assault weapons ban bill came to the floor that would ban something like an AR-15, I would vote for it,” he said, according to The Buffalo News. “So I want to be clear: I would vote for it.”

Jacobs, a Republican from New York who was endorsed by the NRA in 2020, also said he is in favor of raising the age for some gun purchases to 21.

1. Ok, ok. I hope New Yorkers in his district hold him to it.

Maybe the uproar over Uvalde and Buffalo is getting to some of these republicans.

2. Looks like he is from that Buffalo district so the pressure for him is stronger than others.

We have 1 "sensible" republican out of hundreds.
