Frequently Asked Questions

What are the new gun control bills being considered in the US House of Representatives?

The US House is fast-tracking two gun control bills: HR 1446, known as the 'Charleston Loophole Bill' or 'Enhanced Background Check Act,' and HR 8, the 'Universal Background Check Bill.' Both are scheduled for a vote next week, bypassing committee review.

What is HR 1446 and what does it do?

HR 1446, the 'Enhanced Background Check Act,' aims to extend background check waiting periods. It proposes increasing the standard three-day period to ten days, with a potential ten-day appeal, and requires restarting the entire process if results aren't obtained within 30 days.

What are the key provisions of HR 8, the Universal Background Check Bill?

HR 8 mandates background checks for all firearm sales, including private person-to-person transfers, unless conducted through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). While a family exemption exists, it is narrowly defined, and the bill is expected to criminalize private transfers and potentially lead to a gun registry.

Which Republican representatives are co-sponsoring HR 8?

Three Republican representatives are co-sponsoring HR 8: Fred Upton from Michigan, Christopher Smith from New Jersey, and Brian Fitzpatrick from Pennsylvania. Their support is noted as bipartisan backing for the bill.
