House Passes Two Radical Gun Control Bills
On Thursday, the House passed two controversial bills aimed at enacting background checks for all gun sales and transfers, including private sales between neighbors, as well as closing the so-called “Charleston Loophole” to extend the waiting period the government may take if a background check is not completed in a timely fashion.
H.R. 8, The Bipartisan Background Checks Act, passed 227-203. Eight GOP House members broke ranks and voted in favor of the legislation. This includes Reps. Vern Buchanan of Florida, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Andrew Garbarino of New York, Carlos Gimenez of Florida, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Maria Salazar of Florida, Chris Smith of New Jersey, and Fred Upton of Michigan. Salazar, Gimenez, and Garbarino are all freshman members. . .
As explained by gun expert Ryan Cleckner, this bill would not stop criminals from getting guns. Nor would it have stopped none of the recent mass murders, most of which were obtained with illegal guns.

Every part of this tweet is a lie. We already have background checks — Massie is talking about Dems' desire to extend the three-day waiting period. And there are scores of reported examples of women in this situation. https://t.co/ZMl7bEogUy
