The 222-203, nearly party-line vote was an answer to the growing pressure Congress faces to address gun violence and white supremacist attacks, a crisis that was escalated following two mass shootings over the weekend.
The measure seeks to prevent another attack like the one that took place in Buffalo on Saturday. Police say an 18-year-old white man drove three hours to carry out a racist, livestreamed shooting rampage in a crowded supermarket. Ten people were killed. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would cost about $105 million over five years, with most of the money going toward hiring staff.
Republican lawmakers assert that the Justice Department abused its power to conduct more domestic surveillance when Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memo in October aimed at combating threats against school officials nationwide. They labeled the memo as targeting concerned parents.
LI It’s not safe to walk in any democrat run city but let’s let the democrats enforce more useless legislation. Well, useless to our safety, useful to their agenda of having more control over us. And all the sheep will continue to support it.
LI What a joke. More money laundering.
LI On News12 this morning they commented on the 'Ten Blacks' that were murder. What about the two Whites? And you wonder why people say the news is biased and create fear and hate.
LI News12, you did a report today that the bufalloe shooter is accused of killing 10 black people”. He also killed white people. Stop spreading racial bs. This is why I listen to real news like FoxNews
So the bill doesn't do anything but create more bureaucracy. Assault weapons are already banned. The cops even said the red flag laws weren't enforced in this case. There's so much ridiculous and overlapping legislation out there. You can't legislate morality and upbringing.
NJ They’ll carry this hate crime on for months. But stay silent when it’s the other way around.
WC How about the DAILY VIOLENCE ON OUR CITY STREETS ? THAT is DomesticTerrorism The beneficiaries of revolving - door “social justice” for Violent Felons who walk out of the precinct before the paper work is finished are the PROBLEM Along w/DAs that IGNORE Crime &the VICTIMS

LI This is like burglars investing in security systems.

House passes domestic terrorism bill after Buffalo attackThe House has passed legislation in response to the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that would devote more federal resources to preventing domestic terrorism. A similar measure in 2020 failed to make it through the Senate. Shouldn’t all domestic violence and terrorism already be highly resourced? Because I’m certain that white Americans attacked our Capitol, killed people and terrorized our nation and our democracy. Most of the money will be used to come after everyday citizens who dare speak up. Here's the real problem the government doesn't know how to Stop terrorism. It's always going to be a factor somehow, somewhere.
