In the national debate over gun laws, we frequently hear calls for universal background checks, which would close loopholes that exist in some states by extending background check requirements to private sales of firearms.

In this episode, we’ll take a look at what these laws do, what the data says about them, and we’ll talk to some people who are hopeful that the current momentum in favor of stricter gun laws could lead to an expansion of permitting or licensing laws.
