A bill to require a background check for every firearm sale.
Background Check Expansion Act
This bill establishes new background check requirements for firearm transfers between private parties (i.e., unlicensed individuals).

The prohibition does not apply to certain firearm transfers, such as a gift between spouses in good faith.
