The House voted Wednesday on H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019. The bill would expand background checks to include all gun sales, rather than just sales by licensed gun dealers as under current law.
Republicans in the minority countered with an amendment to require that federal officials notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement whenever a lawful or unlawful immigrant tried to illegally purchase a firearm. That measure, opposed by most Democrats, was voted down when the bill was still in the House Judiciary Committee.
But in a surprising development, the motion passed 220-209, with 26 Democrats joining the Republicans.

"The bill would expand background checks to include all gun sales, rather than just sales by licensed gun dealers as under current law."
So how exactly am I supposed to do a background check on the guy I'm selling my gun too?
And who is gunna pay for the check cuz the cops dont to anything free?
In its 1997 decision in the case, the Supreme Court ruled that the provision of the Brady Act that compelled state and local law enforcement officials to perform the background checks was unconstitutional on 10th amendment grounds.

The FEDs have no legal authority to discriminate who gets to practice a right ,and who doesn't.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
And since I already went through a background check to get my concealed carry permit, why would I need to waste the time and money "you know it won't be free" to go through the process again to buy a gun?
This entire idea is about tracking guns not keeping them away from criminals.
It is beyond maddening these jacksnips oppose voter id laws, and push this fascism.
