About this vote

The bill prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs from sending certain information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which licensed firearms importers and dealers use. A motion to recommit sends a bill back to committee and is usually the minority's last chance to change it; it failed, so the House moved on to the vote on passage.
