Federal Firearm Licensing Act

This bill would require anyone who wants to buy, receive, or own a firearm to first get a special federal license. To get the license, a person would need to pass a background check and complete firearms safety training. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives would be in charge of setting up and running the licensing system. The bill would also make it illegal to sell or give a firearm to someone without a valid license, and any sale between private individuals would have to go through a licensed gun dealer who would conduct a background check first.
