Thompson, and gun safety champions in the House as they pass this bill with bipartisan support and overwhelming support from the American people,\u201d she continued.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021 (H.R. 1446) would close the so-called \u201cCharleston Loophole\u201d by eliminating the policy that a firearm can be transferred to an individual if the FBI has not completed a background check within three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill gives the FBI a full 10 business days to complete a background check that has been delayed. Once those 10 days are up, a prospective buyer can petition for \u201cescalated review to spur the FBI to complete its investigation.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sale may proceed if the escalated review has not been completed within an additional 10 business days, allowing the FBI to delay without reason a person\u2019s Second Amendment rights for a full four weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe could have addressed this deadly loophole years ago, but then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stood with the NRA to block this bill from ever getting a vote on the Senate floor,\u201d Watts said in reference to H.R. 1446. \u201cFortunately, there\u2019s a new majority in the Senate \u2013\u2013 and we look forward to working with that majority to pass this bill into law.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/lawmakers-call-on-biden-to-address-ghost-guns-via-executive-fiat\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-control-on-the-move-expanded-background-check-bills-sail-through-house\" title=\"Gun-Control on the Move, Expanded Background Check Bills Sail Through House\">Lawmakers Call on Biden to Address \u2018Ghost Guns\u2019 via Executive Fiat<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gun-rights groups were quick to condemn the news. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi have never met a gun control proposal they didn\u2019t immediately want to take to bed.
