Democrats Introduce ‘The Background Check Expansion Act’ Gun Control Bill By Erin Coates, The Western Journal Published March 2, 2021 at 4:47pm 349 Comments

Congressional Democrats reintroduced legislation Tuesday to expand federal background checks on all gun sales.

The Background Check Expansion Act would require unlicensed or private sellers to conduct a background check before transferring a firearm, which is not currently required by federal law.

Sen. Chris Murphy reintroduced the legislation in the Senate.

“Joe Biden and hundreds of congressional candidates from both parties ran on the issue of background checks. This is the year to get this bill passed into law,” the Connecticut Democrat said in a statement.
