The measures -- including an assault-style weapons ban -- are the initial house democratic response to the deadly Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in December.
The package has 15 proposals and resembles President Obama's plans to stop gun violence.
Written by a dozen House democrats, the plans were led by California democratic Represenative Mike Thompson.
For an item to be recommended, two-thirds of the group had to back it meaning there could be some Democrats who do not agree with the plan.

The House task force, led by Chairman Mike Thompson, California Democrat, did call for addressing violence in video games, movies and television, which was something President Obama left off his recommendations.
