The article indicates that this time the House will not reach for the procedural ease of the suspension of the rules procedure.

It does takes more time because of the debate allowed.
The NRA is trying to stir up a phoney gun rights issue on the bill, and Democrats don’t want that “poison pill” allowed as an amendment.
