226 (D) co-sponsors, 5 (R) co-sponsors.

 

This bill is going to be very restrictive if it gains any traction at all.  If it passes, it will become illegal to hand a gun to another person unless you are at a shooting range, and all private sales will be prohibited.  It also prevents a cap on the fees charged by licensed dealers for transferring a weapon.

 

Wow.
