I’ve gotten a couple emails recently asking “when does hr 822 go to the senate?”
Actually H.R. 822 went to the Senate right after it passed in the House, however, the true next step is to get the bill out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. To do that a hearing is required, and currently there are no hearings scheduled for it but you can watch it at that link.
Remember the Senate is made up of a large number of anti-gun people so it will be difficult for any type of gun law to make it through the committee. If the committee does approve a Senate vote on H.R. 822 then Harry Reid will decide if it makes to a the Senate Floor for a vote.

Patrick J. Leahy
Chairman, D-Vermont
Herb Kohl
D-Wisconsin
Chuck Grassley
Ranking Member, R-Iowa
