These seem to make a lot of sense. Beautifully written article by Rep. David Cicilline
Rep. David Cicilline: Enough Is Enough: Congress Should Act on Gun Safety
The fact is, we don't need to wait for new proposals to be put forward -- there are already a number of bills that I and many gun safety advocates have already co-sponsored that would provide significant changes to existing laws.
The Fix Gun Checks Act would ensure that anyone who should not be allowed to have a gun is listed in the national instant criminal background check system and require a background check for every firearm sale.
You want private sellers to be forced to run background checks? Even if they're selling to a relative?
The Gun Show Loophole Closing would require background checks on any firearms sales that take place at a gun show.
Already required of dealers, you're pushing this onto private sellers.
The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act would require in person purchases of ammunition, licensing of ammunition dealers, and reporting regarding bulk purchases of ammunition.
This won't do shit to prevent shootings, mass or otherwise.
We can ban the types of devices typically used in mass shootings by passing the Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act which would achieve this and also re-enact the Assault Weapons Ban.
As proven by Columbine, this won't accomplish shit.
And the Fire Sale Loophole Closing Act to end the practice by which gun dealers who lose their license can convert their inventory into a "personal collection" and sell them privately.
What do you expect the ex-dealer to do with them, give them away?
