Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced a last-minute vote Friday on a bill to ban assault weapons, bringing the much-watched measure to the floor following a string of mass shootings nationwide.
Pelosi’s decision to hold a vote on the legislation is significant — Democrats dragged their feet on bringing the bill to the floor for weeks out of concern that the razor-thin Democratic majority did not have enough support to get the measure over the finish line.

The assault weapons ban has a total of 207 voting co-sponsors. Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), the lead sponsor of the bill, and Pelosi will also support the measure, bringing the number of reliable “yes” votes to 209. But that figure is still shy of the 216 needed for passage.
Rep. Chris Jacobs (R-N.Y.) said he would support the bill should it be brought for a vote, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) has expressed support for a prohibition on the popular firearms.
