BREAKING: Secret
Gun Bill Is Circulating Congress, We Just Uncovered All of the Details…

The White House is reportedly moving forward to pass some
restrictions on gun ownership in the wake of a series of tragic shooting
incidents in Gilroy, California, El Paso, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, Odessa and
Midland, Texas.
According to documents exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller, the
gun bill will include expanding background checks for gun purchases, including
“all commercially advertised unlicensed sales.” These include sales at gun
shows.
“Background checks would be conducted either through a
[Federal Firearm Licensee] or through a newly-created class of licensed
transfer agents,” the handout continues, via the Daily Caller.
The handout says it is “consistent with” a legislative
proposal pitched by Democrat Senator Joe Manchin and Republican Senator Pat
Toomey.
The Daily Caller reports:
While all gun sales through federally licensed dealers
currently require background checks, private sales do not. The Manchin-Toomey
legislation would ensure that any advertised gun sales through
an unlicensed dealer would be subject to a background check. It would not apply
to sales between family or friends or to loans, provided the firearms are not
first advertised elsewhere.
The legislation would not address straw purchases, which
account for nearly
half of all illegally trafficked firearms, according to the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
President Donald Trump has seemingly changed his mind on
expanding background checks on several occasions, first
stating after shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio that
he is “all in favor,” only to later assert that such measures “would not have
stopped any of it.”
Nonetheless, the White House has been consistently
meeting with key players in the gun debate — including pro-assault weapon ban
Democrats — over the past month.
