The House will vote on an anti-terrorism measure next week that would prevent terror suspects from purchasing guns, House Speaker Paul Ryan told GOP lawmakers Thursday.Time to call or email your Congressman. Well, what are you waiting for?In a conference call with the House Republican conference, Ryan, R-Wis., outlined a plan to vote on a legislative package that responds to the recent terrorist shootings, including limiting access to firearms by those on federal terror watch lists.
"The terrorism package will include measures to disrupt radicalization and recruitment, and a provision to prevent suspected terrorists from buying guns," a GOP aide said.
The measure comes after Ryan earlier this month ordered a House terrorism task force "to look at additional legislative options," following the Orlando terrorist shooting that killed 49 people and wounded 53 others.
