Firearms Licensing: New Rules and State Support
This act introduces a grant program for states to encourage them to implement or maintain firearms and ammunition licensing requirements. This means that in states receiving these grants, citizens will need a license to purchase, possess, and sell firearms, and will undergo thorough background checks.
