Universal Background Checks Required for Nearly All Private Gun Sales.
This bill mandates that almost all private firearm transfers or sales between unlicensed individuals must go through a licensed dealer (FFL) to ensure a background check is completed on the recipient. This change aims to prevent prohibited individuals from acquiring firearms through private transactions. Exceptions are provided for immediate family gifts, temporary loans for safety, or use at shooting ranges.
