TITLE II--BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR GUN SHOP EMPLOYEES

TITLE III--PREVENTION OF TERRORISTS FROM OBTAINING FIREARMS OR EXPLOSIVES

Its not just the Dems pushing for it, and not just the Reps defending against it. Or libs or cons.

What do they define as a transfer? Letting the guy in the next lane send a couple rounds down range? Or the overnight or longer type transfer?

What about transfers to family members?

 

[JimDandy]

You'd have to read it, but I did see a section on gifts to immediate family.
