Bipartisan Background Checks Act

The Bipartisan Background Checks Act is proposed legislation aimed at improving gun safety by requiring background checks for all firearm sales and transfers, including private transactions. The goal is to prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands, such as individuals with criminal backgrounds or mental health issues. This law seeks to close loopholes that currently allow some private sales to bypass background checks, thus promoting responsible gun ownership and reducing gun violence while respecting lawful owners’ rights.
