The Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2023 (HR 715), formerly HR 8, has been reintroduced. This bill aims to expand background checks to nearly all firearm transfers, including private sales, requiring them to go through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). While it has passed the House previously, it has consistently failed in the Senate. The bill includes exceptions for law enforcement, direct family members, and temporary transfers to prevent imminent harm.

This video analyzes the implications of House Bills HR8 and HR1446, focusing on their potential impact on private firearm transfers and the constitutional basis of federal power. It explains that HR8 aims to make non-FFL transfers unlawful with limited exceptions, while HR1446 extends the background check waiting period. The speaker, identified as a lawyer, expresses concern over the erosion of constitutional principles and the practical burdens these laws could impose, particularly on rural Americans.

This video announces that HR8 (Bipartisan Background Checks Act) and HR1446 (Enhanced Background Checks Act) are officially scheduled for consideration by the House of Representatives. It explains that HR8 aims to mandate background checks for all firearm transfers through an FFL, while HR1446 seeks to extend the background check review period from three to ten days, potentially creating indefinite delays. The video urges viewers to contact their representatives and provides resources like GOA to facilitate this action, emphasizing the potential for these bills to be considered 'backdoor gun control'.
