38. The first 3 are from 2015

The 4th is from February and is still in committee.

HR 1076: Allows the AG to deny a FFL if the AG feels the FFL is connected to terrorism and allows the FFL holder to challenge the decision. Also allows the AG to ban a person from buying if they are connected to terrorism, it is unclear if the person can challenge the decision. If it allows a person to challenge the AG to provide proof of connection to terrorism, then there is due process and I would support this

HR 1217: Mostly increases funding to states to keep the NICS system updated with the most current records and provides penalties for states that do not. Support

HR 3051: Currently the law states that if the NICS system (the FBI) can not provide a completed background check after 3 business days, the FFL dealer can sell the firearm. This bill would revoke that. Do not support, while I would be open to changing it from 3 days to a somewhat longer timeframe, maybe 7-14 days, not having a deadline for the background check to be completed allows for the system to be abused without due process

HR 4603: Bans people who have a misdemeanor hate crime from buying a gun. Inclined to oppose, this is very much a slippery slope and the definition of misdemeanor hate crime is bit too vague for my comfort

None of the above would have prevented Orlando as the POS was never convicted of any crime and reportedly no longer on the no fly list.
