The House Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public Protection Committee has voted almost unanimously to prohibit local police from using tax dollars to implement a federal firearms or ammunition ban. There was one abstention Tuesday. Mount Vernon Bill Sponsor Josh Bray said the federal Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agency regulation covers pistol braces.
“It’s a firearm accessory that might help somebody with a disability shoot a pistol if they don’t have a lot of hand stability,” said Bray.
