Rep. Fitzgerald Discusses His Bill to Give Law-Enforcement Advanced Less-Lethal Technology

Published | Video Starts at 03:49

The Revised language in HR 2189 would no longer allow devices to be exempt under the CGA if the device is intended to expel or could be readily converted to accept or discharge firearm ammunition. This is in addition to the previous requirement that the device not exceed a velocity of 500ft per second, and that it not be designed or intended to be used in a manner likely to cause death or serious bodily injury. I believe this tighter language will address any concerns of firearms being quote, unquote deregulated through this conversion to a less lethal device. (03:49–04:04)

CLAIM

Asserts that HR 2189 includes requirements on device velocity and intent to prevent causing death or serious injury.
