I'd expect any BC bill that comes out of the House to be shaped very differently than what the Senate passes. The House version(if there is one) will no doubt be crafted in such a way to make it irreconcilable as possible with Senate version.

Background checks don't and fundamentally can't stop straw purchasers. slackmaster Apr 2013 #11

Doesn't stop straw purchaser....... rdharma Apr 2013 #12

No, it doesn't have anything to do with stopping straw sales or prosecuting straw buyers. slackmaster Apr 2013 #13

You evidently don't know how these cases are prosecuted. rdharma Apr 2013 #14
