Senator Tim Kaine's 'Responsible Transfer of Firearms Act' proposes strict liability for firearm transfers, shifting the burden of proof to the transferor to demonstrate reasonable steps were taken to ensure the recipient is not prohibited. This legislation is criticized as unconstitutional and potentially creating a federal felony for every transfer due to vague requirements. Separately, a Nevada ballot initiative backed by Michael Bloomberg aims to create a universal handgun registry, which supporters argue is not a universal background check but a registration scheme.
