Background checks are the first line of defense to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. If we defeat the previous question, I am going to offer an amendment to the rule to bring up legislation that would expand the current background check system to include all commercial sales of firearms.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Florida? There was no objection.
