1:01Now PlayingDid you know that expanding background checks wouldn't have prevented a single mass public shooter in recent history from getting a gun? That's because would-be mass public shooters rarely have disqualifying histories. They often can and do pass background checks. Plus, federal law already requires background checks prior to most gun purchases or transfers. Any new background checks policies would only place significant burdens on law-abiding gun owners by creating unreasonable barriers to those common, low-risk firearm transfers.
