urdens on law-abiding citizens.
The agreement also prioritizes collecting records over protecting citizens,"
Coburn said. "This is the wrong approach.Preventing sales to dangerous persons,
not collecting receipts, will save lives."The National Rifle Association
followed up with its own criticism of the proposal."Expanding background
checks at gun shows will not prevent the next shooting, will not
solve violent crime and will not keep our kids safe in schools,"
the NRA said. "The sad truth is that no background check would
have prevented the tragedies in Newtown, Aurora or Tucson."Other Republicans
voiced concern that the legislation being voted on Thursday still included
the older background check measure. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell,
who plans to vote against proceeding on Thursday, said that background check
provision would be a "clear overreach.""The following offenses would now
be federal crimes absent surrendering their firearms and conducting a background
check. Federal offenses: an uncle giving his nephew a hunting rifle for
Christmas; a niece giving her aunt a handgun for protection; a cousin

Congress to act. They waved American flags and carried signs reading, "Reform
immigration for America now!"The border security piece of the legislation
is critical to getting support from Republicans, but some Democrats have
opposed making a path to citizenship contingent on border security. Sen.
Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said that the new requirements wouldn't impede citizenship."A
lot of people here would not want to put dollars into the
border, but as a price to get citizenship, as long as it's
not an impediment to citizenship but rather works alongside citizenship,
it's something we can all live with," Schumer said, after talking to
the Hispanic House members. "What we've said all along is triggers have
to be objective and attainable in a way it doesn't interfere or
delay with people becoming citizens, and that's in the bill."According to
the person familiar with the proposals, the new border security requirements
