The TV network news is touting the new bipartisan compromise gun control bill that is going to be debated by the senate tomorrow. The news reports say that the bill eliminates the exemptions for background checks for gun shows and internet sales, but continues to allow face to face sales without background checks.

What am I missing? There was no exemption for gun shows or internet sales to begin with. So what is changing? Am I the only one confused? Is there anything to oppose in this legislation? Did we get a freebee here, as in the gun control advocates think they got something but they really didn't?
