Bill > HR8534

This bill, the Responsible Gun Ownership Licensing Act, would amend federal law to require individuals to obtain a federal firearms license before purchasing or receiving a firearm. The licensing process would include safety training, a background check, and an assessment of whether the applicant poses a significant danger of bodily injury to themselves or others. The Attorney General would be responsible for establishing and administering the federal licensing system. The bill also requires licensed dealers to conduct background checks on all firearm transfers and prohibits transfers to unlicensed individuals, with certain exceptions.
