House Passes 2 Bills to Expand Background Checks for Gun Ownership

The House has passed two bills related to firearm background checks, which are now headed to the Senate. The first bill mandates background checks for private firearm transfers, with some exceptions. The second bill extends the review period for background checks from 3 to 10 days. Although these bills were passed in the previous term, they did not receive a Senate vote. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer aims to change this, emphasizing the need for action over thoughts and prayers. However, passing the bills in the Senate requires 60 votes, necessitating support from at least ten Republicans.
