Senator Frank Lautenberg has introduced the "Gun Show Background Check Act of 2009".

Thomas does not have it listed yet, but from the presser it sounds as bad as can be expected.

"BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS: The bill requires that all firearms sales at gun shows go through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). If a non-licensed person is selling a weapon, they would use an FFL at the gun show to complete the transaction. The FFL would be responsible for conducting a Brady check on the purchaser and maintaining records of the transaction."

I can only assume by this little tidbit of info in the bill that it would be modified to ALL PRIVATE TRANSACTIONS (even outside of Gun Shows).

Either way, the NRA & TSRA needs to jump on this like white on rice!

For tracking purposes, the bill is S. 843, "A bill to establish background check procedures for gun shows."

It has 11 cosponsors as introduced. The text of the bill has not yet been posted.

Notice that the libs persist in calling the NICS check a "Brady Check"?

The text to the bill has finally been posted. You can read it here.

So you do your deal in the parking lot?
