NY GOP Rep. Chris Jacobs doubles down on assault rifle regulation
Fox News
Republican U.S. Rep. Chris Jacobs has doubled down on his stance on gun control by introducing the Federal Assault Licensing Act, further alienating himself from the GOP.
"I could have said nothing," said Jacobs. Silence would have allowed him to cruise through the Republican primary. But after 31 deaths in 10 days, including the slaying of 19 children at a school in Uvalde, Texas, he felt he had an obligation to take a public stance.
"Having two young children, it just really — you have a different perspective when, you know, thinking about going home to your kids when those 19 children perished," Jacobs said.
