The push for gun control has again started. Bills H.R. 8 & H.R. 1446 were both introduced to the House or Representatives on March 1st 2021.
This is an important notice to everyone to contact you're representatives to let then know that we don't support these. I can't post links yet, so if anyone else would kindly like to add a link to these bills.
H.R. 8 Provided Summary "To require a background check for every firearm sale."
H.R. 1446 Provided Summary "To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to strengthen the background check procedures to be followed before a Federal firearms licensee may transfer a firearm to a person who is not such a licensee." A very opaque bill. To my knowledge this will change the max waiting period for the back ground check to go through from 3 days to 10 days, will shift the burden of proof from the government to the citizen? See links in MTK's post below for better specifics.
At posting, HR 8 has 83 cosponsors and HR 1446 has 81 cosponsors. I believe equivalent bills to these have been passed by the house in the past, so it is likely that they will pass the house. I believe others have said that the bills will be voted on soon, maybe in a few weeks?
