House Democrats pass another bill to strengthen gun background checks.
President Donald Trump has already pledged to veto the measure along with another the chamber approved Wednesday.
The House passed its second bill this week to strengthen gun background checks, in the biggest gun control push Congress has made in more than 20 years.
The Democratic-held chamber approved a plan Thursday to extend the background check review period to 10 days from three days. It passed in a 228-198 vote, as three Republicans backed it. A day earlier, the House cleared a measure to require checks for all firearms sales, including those purchased online and at gun shows.
President Donald Trump has promised to veto both proposals, arguing they would restrict the rights of gun owners. The legislation is unlikely to get through the GOP-controlled Senate.
