Require background checks for every gun purchase

Murphy introduced legislation that would require a background check for every gun purchase. He also supports separate legislation to keep what he calls “weapons of war” off the streets.

Context: The passage does not describe the background-check bill’s terms or say it became law.

In their own words

make sure every gun purchase goes through a background check
