Gun-control advocate Gabby Giffords attended a ceremony Tuesday in which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced a bill that would criminalize private gun sales.
The legislation is titled H.R. 8 to honor the former congresswoman Giffords, who survived a shooting eight years ago, Jan. 8, 2011, Breitbart News reported.
Pelosi issued a tweet saying, “It is truly blessing to have former Rep. @GabbyGiffords join us to introduce #HR8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, eight years after the Tucson shooting.”
Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., joined Pelosi in introducing the bill.
They were accompanied by three Republicans: Reps. Peter King of New York, Brian Mast of Florida and Chris Smith of New Jersey.
Thompson tweeted an ABC News report explaining the bill expands background checks to cover non-retail gun sales.
Breitbart pointed out, however, that the legislation would not have prevented the attack on Giffords. Her attacker passed a background check to acquire the handgun he used.

Someone needs to ask these Dummycrats how they plan on keeping thousands of guns from flooding across the border after they disarm law abiding citizens.
They want the guns gone so they can force people into reeducation camps, a communist tactic. But if people have guns that is much more dangerous.
Red, White, and Blue vest time is here.
Works with drugs right?
No but it will make decent citizens (not illegals) criminals

“Sales?” I read in another article that the exception to “transfers” would be family members.
The NRA is the only organization that *effectively* stops such legislation from passing, and the NRA has done that many times in recent years. I’m in favor of supporting another national organization, but they just don’t have enough money or lobby strength, yet.
How about WE propose a bill to eliminate the abomination known as gca68? I’d vote for that.
Well, it certainly appears to be working so far. NOT!
We only want to outlaw 30 round mags and semi autos. Your pistols and other rifles are just fine. Oh, I also have available some ocean front property just west of Reno.
3 RINOs are supporting the gun grabbers...
“No Gun Is Illegal”
Just using lefty talking points.
Do NOT say “undocumented firearms”. Kinda sounds like what you hear on so many TV and movie scenarios when the detective declares “It’s not registered to XXXX.” as if registration is a fact. Not everywhere. Yet.
You mean ‘repansiecans’?
I want to see Brian Mast PRimARieD!
I'm all for it. How do we start?
Try ENFORCING That!
The day is coming when those skeletons will be an asset.
