The Democratic-led U.S. House Judiciary Committee said on Friday it will cut short its summer recess and meet on Sept. 4 to consider new gun control legislation in response to back-to-back mass shootings in Texas and Ohio.
The panel will prepare a series of bills for consideration by the full House of Representatives including a high-capacity magazine ban, a measure to prevent people convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes from purchasing firearms and a red flag bill to deny guns to those deemed to be a danger to themselves and others.
Lawmakers will also hold a Sept. 25 hearing on military-style assault weapons.
The full House and Senate are both on recess and scheduled to reconvene on Sept. 9.
