S. 843 was introduced with 11 Cosponsors:

Sen Durbin, Richard
Sen Feinstein, Dianne
Sen Gillibrand, Kirsten E. (isn't this the same Kirsten Gillibrand everyone was sending money to because she was such a pro-gun Democrat?)

Sen Reed, Jack
Sen Schumer, Charles E.

This is going to be tough. For the past year or so the media has been spewing forth the lie that American Gun Shows are helping arm Mexican Drug Gangs. The Republican candidate for president in the last election won the Republican Primaries as an unrepentant supporter of legislation such as this. Well, not just a supporter, but an advocate who had introduced a similar bill not that very long ago.
More as I get it.

Yep, first round out of the box... It will be interesting to see how many democrats sign on to this.
and it will be illegal for newspapers to run classified ads for firearms. we are in big trouble.
The KC Star won't and hasn't for years, published ads for private sales of guns---only dealer. Five years ago the ads for Guns and related items ran 12-20 column inches. Now it's barely 6 column inches.
And the print media STILL doesn't understand why they're heading the way of the dinosaurs...
