Gun Control-The “Gun Safety” Bill

Purpose: Our bill is to accomplish the task of reducing the amount of homicide, suicide, and other accidents caused with firearms. It is also going to make our nation a safer place when it comes to gun use.

Eligibility: Our bill is going to apply to anyone who owns or deals with guns.

Terms and Benefits: Our bill has some rules and standards in order to take place. One standard is that you cannot own more than three firearms. Another main condition is that you cannot own a gun until the age of twenty-five. To own a firearm before then, you must write a letter to the government about why you need a gun. If your application is approved, then you may go ahead and purchase a gun. Anyone who owns a firearm must get a gun license. They will also have to sign a safety contracts stating they won’t use their weapon to harm anybody. If you violate the contract then you will go to jail for three years, have a 10,000 dollar fine, and you will be restricted to own a gun for the rest of your life. Those are the procedures for our bill.

Fiscal Impacts: Many items are needed for this bill to work. Here are the basics on what is needed: computers, office supplies, jails, judges, jail workers, policemen, electrical wiring, office workers, ads in newspapers, ads on the news, buses, food, and cameras. All of this will cost around $3 million.
