This move makes it significantly easier for traffickers to funnel guns to people prohibited from owning guns — like domestic abusers — and other criminals who wouldn’t be able to pass a background check, and even puts postal workers at risk.

A softly illustrated image of a student's bedroom in soft pastel lighting. A bed occupies most of the frame and a colorful painting of flowers hangs on the wall behind. A large teddy bear can be partially seen in the foreground.

Sitting on the bed is a young woman with short dark hair. 

In her hands she is supporting a large grey cat. The cat has a white patch on its mouth, large yellow eyes, and an unsure expression on its face. It is half-standing in the young woman's lap. 

Her head is slightly tilted and her large brown eyes look intently at the cat with a curious expression. The grey cat looks directly back into the young woman's eyes. 

Their faces are close to one another.
