Frequently Asked Questions

What is HR-8 and what would it do?

HR-8, or House Resolution 8, is a proposed bill that aims to implement universal background checks for all firearm sales, including private transactions. If passed into law, it would effectively end private gun sales without government oversight, requiring background checks for every firearm transfer.

Does HR-8 have enough votes to pass the Senate?

According to the speaker, Senator Dick Durbin claims HR-8 has the votes, but evidence suggests otherwise. There are no Republican co-sponsors in the Senate, and at least two or three Democrats are reportedly not on board, making passage unlikely.

What is the real goal of the universal background checks bill?

While proponents claim HR-8 closes the 'gun show loophole,' the speaker argues its true intention is to eliminate private sales and establish a comprehensive registry of all firearms and their owners, giving the government knowledge of who possesses every gun.

What is the likelihood of HR-8 passing according to legislative tracking?

Data from legislative tracking sites like GovTrack.org indicates a very low probability of HR-8 passing. The bill has been stagnant for months and is rated as having only a 3% chance of success, suggesting it is unlikely to become law.
