Frequently Asked Questions

What are HR 8 and HR 1112?

HR 8 is a proposed House bill that would criminalize private firearm transfers, requiring them to go through FFLs. HR 1112 aims to allow arbitrary delays in firearm purchases, potentially extending background check processing times significantly beyond current limits.

How would HR 8 affect private firearm transfers?

HR 8 would make it illegal to loan, gift, or privately sell a firearm without going through a licensed dealer (FFL). This would subject these transfers to the same fees, paperwork, and record-keeping as new gun sales, with penalties for non-compliance similar to selling to a felon.

What are the concerns about HR 1112 and background checks?

HR 1112 could extend background check delays from the current three business days to potentially over 20 days, or even indefinitely. This is concerning because it could prevent law-abiding citizens from acquiring firearms for self-defense in a timely manner and could be exploited to make the system inefficient.

Why should people oppose HR 8 and HR 1112?

Opponents argue these bills unfairly target law-abiding citizens, do not deter criminals, and infringe upon Second Amendment rights. They also raise concerns about increased government overreach, potential for firearm registration, and the creation of bureaucratic hurdles that make exercising constitutional rights difficult.
