This is a quote from the posted link ....

"Goodlatte, serving his first year as the head of the Judiciary panel, pointed out that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System needs to be reauthorized before year's end. The reauthorization could be the vehicle through which the GOP tackles the highly charged issue. Goodlatte, who has an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA), said earlier this year he wants to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill."

.... That looks like the key motivation to proactively move forward asap to take the wind out of the sails of the anti-gun movement. If they waited until the last minute reauthorization of the NICS, wouldn't it be more likely that the anti forces would pull some last minute stunt to add a ton of "we have to pass to see what's in it" type amendments to the reauthorization bill? I'm going to reserve the right to revise my opinion at a later date, but for the moment will give them the benefit of the doubt on being "constructive" on this one.
