01: Require background checks for all gun sales
Extend FBI background checks to all gun sales, barring a limited category of sales between family members.
  • Legislation must not only close the 'gun show loophole' but also capture the 40 per cent of gun sales by private sellers which are currently exempt from meeting the existing background checks requirement.
  • Limitations to the 'extended' background check requirement would include 'certain transfers between family members and temporary transfers for hunting and sporting purposes'.
