A significant gun control measure mandating universal background checks passed the Democrat-controlled House Thursday with the help of eight Republicans.
CNN reports the eight Republicans were:
- Vern Buchanan of Florida
- Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania
- Maria Salazar of Florida
- Andrew Garbarino of New York
- Chris Smith of New Jersey
- Fred Upton of Michigan
- Carlos Gimenez of Florida
- Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
Vox noted that Fitzpatrick (pictured), Smith, and Upton not only voted for the gun control measure but actually “co-sponsored it.”
Breitbart News observed the gun control measure, H.R. 8, passed the House by a vote of 227-203 Thursday morning. The bill expands point-of-sale background checks on retail firearm sales to cover private transactions as well.

This bill is UNCONSTITUTIONAL on its face... the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed... This Bill is a definite INFRINGEMENT to that right.
That's the least of it, both parties are unconstitutional because essentially one created and the other allowed fraud of the worst kind
