Does anyone have a source of the actual language?

The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act

OK I spent some time on that website. It is an outline not the exact language

Nobody has the real bill language yet - the link that you posted is NOT - NOT the actual bill language - just a summary statement...

Some PR statements (from link above - “Closes the gun show and other loopholes while exempting temporary transfers and transfers between family members.”) Note - it only says “transfers between family members” will be exempt.

But from Manchin’s website at:

http://www.manchin.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=71c2e977-5a10-412c-ad8b-a3339ae525f9

He claims:

“As under current law, transfers between family, friends, and neighbors do not require background checks. You can give or sell a gun to your brother, your neighbor, your coworker without a background check. You can post a gun for sale on the cork bulletin board at your church or your job without a background check.”

Manchin is claiming, in a vague and informal way, that all private transfers except those transfers made at guns shows will be exempted from the background check - but all of their other statements only exempt family ....

The precise wording will be extremely important. If Schumer is backing this, well then, it must be full of other attacks on our rights. I suspect this “compromise” is very bad indeed.
