The House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill that would require all would-be gun buyers, including those who wish to enter into private transactions, to undergo a federal criminal-background check.
Proponents of the legislation, including Representative Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.), argue that it will help prevent mentally ill Americans from purchasing guns and, as a result, will reduce mass shootings in schools and other public venues.
?There?s no reason to continue to make it easy for people who are legally prohibited from possessing firearms to acquire them by circumventing the background-check process,? Nadler said on the House floor before the vote. ?H.R. 8 would close this dangerous loophole and save many, many lives.?
Huh? I was unaware of this dangerous loophole but I am glad we are all much safer now. Hopefully the Senate won't do something dumb like not passing the bill.
