H.R.8

Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021

Date of Vote: March 11, 2021

Chamber of Origin: HouseCongress: 117th

Roll Call Number: 75 | Session Number: 1

This legislation would require universal background checks for all firearm sales, including private sales, with specific exceptions. This is a misguided effort, as universal background checks would do little to prevent violence and would only make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to purchase, own, carry, and use a firearm.1
