  1. so gun laws and gun control have been in the news a lot lately can't imagine why... it would help to know what the existing laws about
  2. owning and using guns are and what they require you to do if you wanna have a gun
  3. or several handy so let's dig in shall we the very first law that touches your guns at least until
  4. the gun touching act of 2014 passes is the requirement of gun registration every gun manufacturer importer and
  5. dealer has to register every gun they either make import or sell and ensure that gun has a unique serial number whenever a gun is sold the dealer
  6. has to record the purchaser's name and the gun's serial number they also have to include whether it was purchased for use by
  7. an agent of a state or local government but the information collected when the gun was registered can't be used as
  8. evidence in a criminal case unless it was given falsely it's illegal to buy or sell unregistered gun
  9. this is in part because every time a gun is made imported or sold you have to pay a tax
  10. the tax is $200 which is the same as it was in 1934 all gun manufacturers importers and dealers must also be licensed and the
  11. license fee ranges from $100 to $500 the law specifically states the registration includes guns
  12. disguised as other objects and to make sure the people are following the rules the ATF inspects
  13. licensed gun dealers every 12 months as well as after any crimes involving that dealer's guns
  14. breaking the registration or licensing rules will mean your guns get seized and you could pay up to $250,000
  15. in fines as an individual or $500,000 if you're an organization a dealer is someone who
  16. makes a business selling guns not someone who sells them occasionally or on the side there's a vigorous debate
  17. over whether these amateur sellers should also get a license and file paperwork no one knows for sure how many guns are sold this way
  18. with estimates ranging from 25%-40% of total sales some kinds of guns are banned from being sold in the U.S. at all
  19. machine guns are banned this means any gun they can shoot more than once in a row without having to pull the trigger again
  20. silencers are also banned though both can still be made for export there are no restrictions on antique firearms which means
  21. anything made in 1898 or before if you can't still readily buy ammo for it there's also the assault
  22. weapons ban which ran from 1994 to 2004 and is being discussed again it banned 18 types of semiautomatic guns, which means a gun that lets you
  23. shoot multiple times just by pulling the trigger again, that had specific military features like a telescoping stock
  24. a pistol grip on rifles a bayonet mount a grenade launcher or a flash suppressor the assault weapons ban also applied to
  25. any ammo clips that let you put more than 10 bullets in the gun at a time one problem was that it didn't apply to anything made before 1994 so there were
  26. a lot of semiautomatic weapons still floating around for those 10 years another problem was that most types of guns are semiautomatics so the line between
  27. what was and what wasn't banned was hard to understand and rather blurry the other major federal gun laws the Brady Bill
  28. which applies to background checks while minors--the age is 21 for handguns and 18 for everything else--
  29. felons drug addicts and anyone legally decided mentally defective have all been barred from owning guns since 1968
  30. there wasn't any good way enforcing this the Brady Bill enacted a system of background checks in 1994
  31. first they were required to be done by law enforcement officers and then when that was ruled unconstitutional
  32. an instant online system was instituted though many law enforcement officers still
  33. voluntarily do background checks it also widens the gun ban to legal immigrants dishonorably discharged soldiers people under restraining orders
  34. people under indictment for a crime where the punishment exceeds 1 year and people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence the background check
  35. can take up to 3 days Congress also offers grants to states to
  36. improve their electronic background check systems now the state level laws vary widely some states recognize the permits
  37. of other states and some don't states aren't required to spend their own resources and forcing federal gun laws
  38. though some do generally states will have rules about gun registration and licenses
  39. waiting periods rules on how many guns you can own and rules about where you can have guns as well as how you can carry them
  40. for example some states limit the number of guns you can buy any one time particularly handguns some states require you to log a certain number of
  41. shooting hours or even to take a test before you get a gun license some states banned weapons in certain public places
  42. and some states make it really hard or impossible either carry a gun with you everywhere you go
  43. called open carry or to carry a gun around secret call concealed carry most states are less restrictive than the federal
  44. government but some are much more so you may have heard about the Heller case that went to the Supreme Court
  45. DC had banned handguns altogether and required a trigger lock on any guns in the house
  46. the Supreme Court struck both of those restrictions down the really important part was the court held that the Second Amendment does
  47. guarantee an individual right to bear arms and there you have it
