Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 698) to regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.

This resolution (HRES 452) is procedural and solely enables the House to debate and vote on H.R. 698, a bill proposing assault weapons regulations. It waives all procedural objections to H.R. 698, sets a one-hour debate period equally divided between leadership, and prevents motions to recommit. The resolution itself does not change gun laws; it only establishes the process for considering H.R. 698. (Note: H.R. 698 is the substantive bill on assault weapons regulation, while HRES 452 is the procedural vehicle to advance it.)
