House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) introduced legislation to criminalize private gun sales on Tuesday.
As promised, gun control proponent Gabby Giffords was there to take part in the introduction of the legislation, which is titled H.R. 8.
The “8” is intended to honor Giffords for surviving the attack on her life eight years ago, on January 8, 2011.
Rep. Thompson tweeted an ABC News report explaining H.R. 8, which criminalizes private gun sales by expanding background checks to cover non-retail gun sales.
The Democrats are joined by three House Republicans: Rep. Peter King (R-NY), Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), and Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ).

None of these bills will ever pass as Democrats don’t yield as much power as they think. Media trying to convince you otherwise; however, this a fake song. All Democrat posturing. No substance.
Will NEVER pass in a Republican held Senate. Typical Democrat house leadership, wasting time passing bills going nowhere, and neglecting their duty to pass meaningful legislation like immigration reform. They are just pandering to their lower class constituents.
