The main purpose of this legislation, known as the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2025, is to enhance gun safety by ensuring that background checks are conducted for every firearm sale. The goal is to prevent individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms, such as those with criminal records or mental health issues, from obtaining guns. Key provisions of the law require that any transfer of a firearm between individuals must involve a licensed dealer, importer, or manufacturer who will conduct the necessary background check before the transfer can take place.
