Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main gun control bills recently introduced by Democrats?

Democrats have introduced several gun control bills, including HR8 (Bipartisan Background Check Act), the Background Check Expansion Act, HR 1446 (Enhanced Background Check Act), and the Protecting Domestic Violence and Stalking Victims Act. These bills primarily focus on expanding background checks for firearm transfers and addressing domestic violence related firearm restrictions.

How does HR8, the Bipartisan Background Check Act, aim to change firearm sales?

HR8 seeks to mandate that all firearm transfers and sales, including private party transactions, must go through a licensed dealer (FFL) and involve a background check. This aims to close perceived loopholes in current federal law regarding private gun sales.

What changes does HR 1446 propose for the NICS background check system?

HR 1446, the Enhanced Background Check Act, proposes extending the time the FBI has to complete a NICS background check from three business days to ten business days. If no determination is made within this period, the burden shifts to the purchaser to follow up.

What is the 'boyfriend loophole' that the new legislation aims to close?

The 'boyfriend loophole' refers to a gap in federal law that may allow individuals in dating relationships, but not married or cohabiting, to acquire firearms even if they have restraining orders against them for domestic violence or stalking. The new legislation aims to expand prohibitions to include these relationships.
