Bill overview
This bill, the Handgun Licensing and Registration Act of 2021, would establish a federal system requiring licensing and registration of all handguns owned in the United States. States currently with handgun licensing and registration systems meeting specific federal requirements would be exempt. The bill aims to improve background checks and reduce gun violence by creating a national database of handgun owners and ensuring they meet certain criteria for ownership. It also includes provisions for penalties for non-compliance and grants to states for implementing these new regulations.
