Means you better hope it falls in the senate, or no more convenient gun sales in the classifieds.. you'll have to introduce a 3rd party into the mix and pay whatever fee the FFL requires, to stay in line with the "law" of course.
H.R. 8 would expand retail point-of-sale background checks so as to cover private points-of-sale. This will criminalize an individual who sells a 5-shot revolver to a lifelong neighbor, unless that neighbor first undergoes a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check, conducted by the FBI.
It's 50/50 split in the Senate. They need 60 votes to push it through. So, some Republicans will have to come on board or they could use Nuclear Option which overrides the 3/5ths vote rule, and a simple majority is all it would take to pass the bill. But it's highly unlikely that would happen. More likely they get some Republicans to come over, but I don't think they have enough......maybe

This is a tough one. Intuitively, I fight against any intrusion on my right to make private transactions.
On the other hand, if this were made simple, like a name and SSN into an internet form and a quick yes/no by a search button, it makes darn good sense.
Unfortunately it'll probably be a lousy interface requiring a fee and a third party.

So buy up all the guns you can right now so they can't prove a private transaction in the future wasn't a private transaction prior to passage of the bill? Right? Am I understanding that correctly?
Gonna be plenty of new "criminals" if this goes through. Guess I'll just have to self identify as someone who passed a background check. If you disagree you're a bigot...
