Bipartisan deal close on expanded background checks

[JJVP]

The four Senators are discussing yet another possible exception designed to make the deal more palatable to gun rights lawmakers: Exempting those who have already obtained “conceal and carry” permits, the idea being they’ve already undergone a background check.

Can you see another rush to get CHL's?

One thing that still needs to be resolved is how to ensure that an expanded background check does not create some kind of national gun registry — again, in order to mollify gun rights lawmakers. The law as currently configured explicitly forbids the creation of any such registry, and it requires that any data collected during a legal gun transfer be destroyed within 24 hours. Despite this, the four Senators are discussing ways to write in new legislative language that would add additional safeguards against any data collection.

I'm in favor of expanded background checks.

I think they should be required to regeister to vote, to run for public office, to get in state resident tuition rates, and take tax deductions.

Copy of birth records should be added and also 2years of military service.

FINALLY.....I am glad to hear they are considering this. I hope they know that the background checks are updated at every renewal of a CHL holder.......

I would like it even better if our CHL also allowed us to buy NFA items without any additional checks/paperwork/TAX STAMP that you currently have to go through......

Show the CHL and walk out with the silencer!
Hopefully if we could get that, the prices for a $1000.00 silencer (or whatever current "all in" cost is) would also go down to a more realistic number such as $200.00! (or whatever, you get my drift).

That would be the only NFA item I would like to have. I can't afford the ammo for the other things that I can't afford the price of either!

But if I could legally cut my AR barrel down to 10" that would be cool too!
