HB 92


 * __TITLE__-** RESTRICTIONS ON BUYING GUNS-HB 92


 * __SPONSERS__-** **ACLOSSIN** (I-MA)**,** **EOULTON** (I-PA), and **CSULKOWSKI** (I-CA)


 * __PURPOSE__-** The purpose of this bill is to ensure safety with buying guns and protect the lives of many citizens that could be at risk involving guns.


 * __GOALS__-** We want to limit the guns that are available to buy. People should only be able to purchase large hunting guns if they have a hunting license. Also, we want to perform background checks on everyone to see if they have a recent history of crime or if they can be trusted with a gun. We believe this will help the death rate involving guns decrease.


 * __ELIGIBILITY TERMS__-** Not everyone in the US will be directly affected by the passing of this bill. Everyone who buys a gun will have to get a background check on themselves from the seller of the gun to make sure they do not have any recent felonies such as robbing or escaping from jail. They may, however, purchase a gun if it has been five-ten years with a clean record after release from jail. To buy a hunting weapon, people must have a hunting license. Gun dealers must refuse to sell guns to those who are not qualified. This affects all gun-purchasing and gun-selling citizens.


 * __FISCAL IMPACT-__** Every bill has a certain price it would cost to be put in effect. Some are more costly than others but this one will not cost very much compared to others. The only cost this bill requires is the price of the paper, ink, and printers that it takes to print out forms for every gun-buying citizen to fill out for their background check. We are estimating this to cost a maximum amount of about $3,000,000 for the whole US. There are no other expenses.
