The house of representatives announced a pending bill for universal background checks. It will include all transfers by private parties, with the exception of close relatives, transfers between LEO's, and official military.
All other transfers must be performed by FFL's.
The article mentions temporary transfers while hunting, but didn't mention while target shooting. Hopefully, that was just an omission by the article, not the bill.
According to this article it is expected to pass the now Democratic controlled house, but may be a tougher sell in the Republican controlled Senate. The article goes on to comment that they intend to take one step at a time, (chipping away?) by not including "assault" weapons or "high capacity" magazines. If this passes, guess what comes next? Also, guess what state the sponsor comes from?
