AI Summary
This Joint Resolution, prompted by tragic mass shootings like Sandy Hook, advocates for a comprehensive federal approach to gun violence prevention that respects Second Amendment rights while enhancing community safety. It urges the President and Congress to expand the National Firearms Act, which currently regulates machine guns, to include generically defined assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, similar to California's existing laws. The resolution also calls for universal background checks for all firearm transfers through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), a federal system used to determine if a person is legally allowed to purchase firearms, and for all states and federal agencies to fully report necessary records to NICS to prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands, such as those of the dangerously mentally ill.
