Carolyn McCarthy introduced HR 591 yesterday. It would &#8220;require criminal background checks on all firearms transactions occurring at gun shows.&#8221; The text of the bill has not yet been published.<\/p>\n<p>As of yesterday, it had only one co-sponsor &#8211; Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI).<\/p>\n<p>While the text of the bill hasn&#8217;t been received yet, I am presuming that this is an effort by McCarthy to play off of <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2011\/01\/bloomberg-back-to-his-old-tricks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mayor Bloomberg&#8217;s so-called sting operation at a Phoenix gun show in January<\/a>. What makes a private sale made in the vicinity of a gun show different from any other private sale between lawful individuals is a question that only the gun controllers can answer.<\/p>\n<p>When the full text is published, I will post it here.<\/p>\n<p>In other McCarthy news, her magazine ban bill, HR 308, seems to have reached a high-watermark in terms of co-sponsors. It remains at 65 and has remained that way since January 26th. Of course, this number&nbsp;could change if President Obama were to make some forceful statement in support of the bill. And pigs could fly, too, I suppose.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
