House votes to expand gun background checks

The Democratic-controlled #HouseBassed a bill to expand background checks on #Firearm purchases between private individuals.

Background checks already exist for retail sales.

Republicans were able to add an amendment requiring that Immigration and Customs Enforcement be notified when an #Illegal immigrant tries to buy a #Gun.

The #Senate is considered very unlikely to pass the bill.
