HR 45

[Ocellairs]

...I received an email about this bill from a friend of mine out on the West Coast.

 

1. Require licensing for anybody that owns a gun.

 

2. Would require photographs and a thumbprint

 

3. Would require passage of a test that covers:

 

(A) the safe storage of firearms, particularly in the vicinity of persons who have not attained 18 years of age;

 

( the safe handling of firearms;

 

© the use of firearms in the home and the risks associated with such use;

 

(D) the legal responsibilities of firearms owners, including Federal, State, and local laws relating to requirements for the possession and storage of firearms, and relating to reporting requirements with respect to firearms; and

 

(E) any other subjects, as the Attorney General determines to be appropriate;

 

Sebastian highlights some other gems in this bill:

 

mandates licensing, registration and safe storage for handguns and semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines. It also provides for inspection, so you surrender your fourth amendment rights by being licensed. It also requires reporting of Lost and Stolen firearms, and you must inform the federal government if you change addresses.
