Rep. Brian King (D)

HB 133 (Background Checks for Private Firearm Purchases)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

In Utah, adults can purchase firearms from private sellers without having to get a background check or submit information to the government. This bill requires background checks before such purchases can take place.

Libertas opposes this bill. Individuals should be able to acquire tools to defend themselves without unnecessary burdens being placed in their path.
