Bill overview
The Federal Firearm Licensing Act would require individuals to obtain a federal firearm purchasing license before buying or receiving a firearm. This license would require completion of firearms safety training, a background check, and fingerprinting. The Attorney General would establish a system for issuing these licenses, and states with similar licensing processes could be exempt. The bill also introduces point-of-sale background checks and prohibits the sale of firearms to unlicensed individuals, aiming to increase scrutiny and potentially reduce firearm violence.
