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.
