Frequently Asked Questions

What are HR 8 and HR 1112?

HR 8, the Bipartisan Background Check Act, aims to expand background checks to most private firearm sales. HR 1112, the Enhanced Background Checks Act, proposes to extend the NICS delay period from three to ten business days, with potential for further extensions, impacting how quickly individuals can acquire firearms.

How could HR 8 lead to a gun registry?

The speaker suggests HR 8's requirement for Form 4473s in all transfers could create a de facto gun registry. The ATF's past actions of collecting and photographing these forms indicate a potential for documenting firearm ownership, which is currently illegal under federal law.

What is the main concern with HR 1112's extended background check delays?

The primary concern with HR 1112 is the significant increase in waiting times for firearm purchases. A ten-day window, plus potential extensions, could push acquisition times close to 30 days, requiring a new background check if the initial one expires, thus inconveniencing law-abiding citizens.

Why does the speaker believe these bills won't stop crime?

The speaker argues that criminals, by definition, do not follow laws. Therefore, legislation like HR 8 and HR 1112 will primarily affect law-abiding citizens who comply with regulations, while doing little to deter criminal activity or save lives.
