The bill would require unlicensed gun dealers to conduct criminal background checks on their customers before selling the customer a firearm.

Currently that federal law only applies to licensed gun dealers.
Do you know why the federal law only applies to licensed dealers?
In part, because you have to be a licensed dealer to do background
checks. So, in essense, this bill would ban private firearm sales.
