I am concerned as to what NICS-FIX has in it besides fixing reporting from the Feds. No way that antis support it so loudly without something else, something hidden.
The text of Culberson’s “NICS Fix” bill is here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/4477/text
I haven’t seen anything in it that bothers me terribly—mostly administrative paper shuffling and some pork for local governments in the form of “grants” to fix their NICS reporting. I don’t see a whole lot of “fixing,” though I’ll admit I have not read it super-closely yet.
It does include a provision requiring the Bureau of Justice Statistics to provide a report on how many times bump stocks have been used in crimes in the United States. I imagine the answer will be 1 or zero, depending on whether the Las Vegas shooter actually used his bump stocks.
There is also another version introduced by Henry Cuellar (D-TX), but that is not the one up for vote.
