The House Judiciary Committee will be holding an emergency hearing on Thursday to mark up more than half a dozen bills dealing with gun control. The panel will consider a robust package of 8 gun-related bills which Democrats are calling the Protecting Our Kids Act. House Democrats plan to bring the bills to the floor early next week and are confident they have the votes to pass them, partly because some Republicans have already expressed they'd support some sort of gun reform. The bills include raising the purchasing age for semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21, banning the sale or transfer of high capacity magazines, new rules for home storage of weapons and beefing up universal background checks. These are checks that Congressman Dan Crenshaw doesn't agree with because it would prevent gun owners from selling a firearm to a friend or family member.
