Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) reintroduced The Background Check Expansion Act, legislation that would expand federal background checks on all gun sales, including private transactions.
Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) also reintroduced companion legislation in the House.
S. 42 states that the Act “prohibits a firearm transfer between private parties unless a licensed gun dealer, manufacturer, or importer first takes possession of the firearm to conduct a background check.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, one of 43 Democrats who have co-sponsored the bill, said now is the time to act on expanding background checks.

Gee, I bet the gang bangers and other such miscreants are quaking in their boots over this, eh?
Universal Background Checks is backdoor registration, which is a precursor to confiscation.

They won’t require that for criminals who buy guns as easily as they buy illegal drugs. This is for the honest, non-violent people.
No delegated power for the move.
Just as there is no delegated power for all federal gun control laws.
The 10th Amendment is the controlling Law.
As they sit behind a fence and armed NG.
They aren’t worried about guns in the hands of gangsters.
It’s the ones in the hands of law-abiding citizens that worries them.
I wonder why?
Make America Drug Cartel Country
Vs
Make America a ChiCom Territory
Vs
Make America Dhimmi
... who says the Democrats don’t represent diversity of thought?
If they really wanted more background checks, they’d make the system open and free to use.
What they want instead is to make it harder and more expensive for people to buy and sell firearms.
Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) also reintroduced companion legislation in the House.

CA, as a state, already does this. All ‘private party’ sales are to be done through an FFL, and include a background check.
Some situations in some states do not do this.
Note the (D-CA) is spreading his tentacles.
And it’s a 1 of, doing what a 1 of does!

Regulating nonviolent compliant citizens while letting the violent criminals continue onwards. Like the bible says, “ in the last days... lawlessness will increase”.
So what? They’re already have lots of restrictions on gun and ammo buying.
It’s the ones in the hands of law-abiding citizens that worries them.
I wonder why?
A good litmus test for ANY gun legislation. How does this get guns out of the hands of criminals? Oh, it doesn't? Thanks for playing....
I sat out the Georgia runoffs so that the Democrats would take the Senate and then could pass legislation like this.
All of which are not actually lawful.
True..but who’s stopping them? Certainly not the Republicans
The federal gun laws state that gun transfers between states have to be done through a gun dealer in the buyer’s state that must do the yellow sheet which is a background check. These morons should read what laws are already on the books.
How are they going to prove a gun was privately purchased before or after the law?
