[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 2143134, member: 7539"] From a news report concerning the remaining parts of the bill... [I]Leaders are now considering how to shape the larger package and plan to release their bill this week. On the table are a bill to broaden background checks for gun buyers, a school safety measure and legislation to make gun trafficking and straw purchasing a felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison. The focus now is on background checks. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has been meeting with Republican senators in an attempt to hammer out a compromise to require all buyers to get a background check before they buy a gun. Talks with Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., stalled after they couldn't agree on whether private sellers should have to keep records of their transactions. The gun trafficking and school safety bills were both approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee with bipartisan support. [/I] Let's not get all happy just yet. In fact, I would have preferred they left the AWB in the bill so it would have had NO chance of passing. With what remains in the bill, we will still be screwed. I'd like to see the government just forget it all and spend more time and effort enforcing the current laws, not trafficking guns to Mexico on their own, and focusing on the gazillions of $ of debt we have instead of trying to run our lives.
