Their solution, per the article.

Background checks need to be done for all gun sales and 90 percent of gun owners would agree.”

She said the only people who should be prohibited to purchase a gun after a background check would be a convicted felon, someone who has committed domestic violence crimes and those hospitalized involuntarily for mental health concerns.

That's already the Federal law, applicable in all 50 states. Either she's poorly informed, they really should look for an informed spokesman, or what she's talking about is the straw man gun show loophole. In which case she should say so, so mom's understand dad can only give his son a firearm after a background check. That is a state issue, I've no problem with state regulation, and most states haven't because few criminals acquire firearms at gun shows. A little honesty would go a long way.

Expecting honesty from that crew is like expecting Hillary Clinton to tell the truth. They are mostly professional marketing and sales types trying to spin out a message which fools uninformed people.
