Before you vote
House Democrats: 2 PolicyBombs on record
No full scorecard rows yet. Their documented positions are listed below, each with its source and that PolicyBomb's grade. They are not counted in a tally until the full row (author, votes, signer, funders) is sourced.
Grades rest on measured outcomes in each PolicyBomb, not on motives. Every line links to its receipt.
Positions on record
As recorded in each PolicyBomb's "who supports / who opposes" research. Not counted in the tally.
Policy #54: Gun Control Mixed
For: Passed H.R. 1808 assault weapons ban 217-213 (Jul 29, 2022); 5 Democrats voted no. Congress.gov: H.R. 1808 Assault Weapons Ban of 2022 (congress.gov)
Listed in the research as: House Democrats; Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) & Chris Jacobs (R-NY)
Verdict: Targeted access laws (licensing, waiting periods, child-access prevention, red-flag orders) are good policy on the evidence and fit the Bruen and Rahimi framework. Assault weapons bans use a lot of political capital for unproven gains.
Policy #55: Concealed Carry Mixed
Against: Overwhelmingly opposed H.R. 38 (2017). Congress.gov: H.R. 38 (115th) (congress.gov)
Verdict: The right to carry is settled law, and abolishing arbitrary may-issue regimes was fair. On the evidence, though, more carrying doesn't reduce crime and probably raises it modestly.
