Second attempt by Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois to get this passed. Never made it out of Committee the last time, and probably wont this time. But a few emails to congress might be a good idea
In a nutshell, the Blair Holt bill would:
- Prohibit possession of any handguns or any semiautomatic firearms that can accept detachable ammunition-feeding devices (excluding antiques) by anyone who has not been issued a firearm license.
- Require all sales of those types of firearms to go through licensed dealers.
- Direct the Attorney General to establish and run a federal record-of-sale system.
- Require the possessors of firearms to secure them (by secure gun storage or safety devices) when they are kept in locales where children might be capable of gaining access to those firearms.
