“It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales”

Pretty sure this is the law right now.

Its not the law...but its hard to find an internet gun ad, without the footnote that the seller will require an FFL licensed dealer to finish the transaction - he will do a background check. If I sell to a stranger, I could be liable for what he might do (especially if he is a felon and I don’t know it), but an FFL dealer is immune. So, I’d certainly pay a dealer 30 bucks to do the transaction...but its not the law.

Now Barry stated that only 60% of sales are currently done with a background check. I call BS - he is probably citing some stat than includes illegal and underground sales.
