“Republican politicians’ almost fetishism of weapons is something that only Freud would properly understand and be able to explain to the American people. The AR-15 is the outgrowth of a military weapon with no place in civilized society. I voted to pass an assault weapons ban,” Cohen said from the House floor.

Cohen then voted in favor of legislation that will disarm hundreds of thousands of gun owners in the nation. Watch his remarks below.
