The bill would forbid "the sale, import, manufacture or transfer" of certain semi-automatic rifles.
The move comes in the wake of a series of mass shootings, including the worst school massacre in almost a decade in Uvalde, Texas, and a deadly attack during an Independence Day parade earlier this month in Illinois.
From Washington DC, Benji Hyer reports.
