Bill seeks expanded gun background checks in Kansas
A Senate bill would require background checks for gun purchases over the Internet and at gun shows in Kansas. Senators Faust-Goudeau and Bollier push reform to cover more than licensed dealers, while private sales between friends or relatives would remain exempt. The proposal, backed by the Brady Campaign, aims to curb gun violence amid resistance from the Republican-led Legislature.
