H.R.8

H.R.8 is a law aimed at reducing gun violence by requiring background checks for all firearm purchases, including private sales and online transactions. Its goal is to ensure that individuals with criminal records, domestic abuse history, or mental health issues cannot legally buy guns. The law seeks to close loopholes that often allow dangerous individuals to acquire firearms without proper screening. By strengthening background check requirements, H.R.8 aims to enhance public safety and prevent firearms from reaching those who pose a risk to themselves or others, while still respecting lawful gun ownership rights.
