Bill > S4271

This bill, the Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act of 2020, aims to reform federal firearms laws in several key ways: 1. It establishes universal background checks for all firearm transfers, with limited exceptions, and requires licensed firearm dealers to facilitate these transfers. 2. It limits individuals to purchasing no more than one handgun within a 30-day period, with some exceptions for law enforcement, military, and certain licensed individuals. 3. It creates a grant program to encourage states and tribal governments to enact "extreme risk protection order" laws, which allow courts to temporarily prohibit individuals who pose a danger from possessing firearms. 4. It requires individuals to report lost or stolen firearms within 48 hours and imposes penalties for failure to do so. 5. It prohibits individuals convicted of misdemeanor crimes against dating partners or subject to certain protective orders from possessing firearms. 6. It prohibits individuals convicted of misdemeanor stalking crimes from possessing firearms. Overall, the bill aims to enhance background check requirements, temporarily restrict firearm access for high-risk individuals, and improve reporting of lost or stolen firearms to reduce gun violence.
