- 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
- owning and using guns are and what they require you to do if you wanna have a gun
- or several handy so let's dig in shall we the very first law that touches your guns at least until
- the gun touching act of 2014 passes is the requirement of gun registration every gun manufacturer importer and
- 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
- 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
- an agent of a state or local government but the information collected when the gun was registered can't be used as
- evidence in a criminal case unless it was given falsely it's illegal to buy or sell unregistered gun
- this is in part because every time a gun is made imported or sold you have to pay a tax
- 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
- license fee ranges from $100 to $500 the law specifically states the registration includes guns
- disguised as other objects and to make sure the people are following the rules the ATF inspects
- licensed gun dealers every 12 months as well as after any crimes involving that dealer's guns
- breaking the registration or licensing rules will mean your guns get seized and you could pay up to $250,000
- in fines as an individual or $500,000 if you're an organization a dealer is someone who
- makes a business selling guns not someone who sells them occasionally or on the side there's a vigorous debate
- 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
- with estimates ranging from 25%-40% of total sales some kinds of guns are banned from being sold in the U.S. at all
- machine guns are banned this means any gun they can shoot more than once in a row without having to pull the trigger again
- silencers are also banned though both can still be made for export there are no restrictions on antique firearms which means
- anything made in 1898 or before if you can't still readily buy ammo for it there's also the assault
- 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
- shoot multiple times just by pulling the trigger again, that had specific military features like a telescoping stock
- a pistol grip on rifles a bayonet mount a grenade launcher or a flash suppressor the assault weapons ban also applied to
- 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
- 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
- what was and what wasn't banned was hard to understand and rather blurry the other major federal gun laws the Brady Bill
- which applies to background checks while minors--the age is 21 for handguns and 18 for everything else--
- felons drug addicts and anyone legally decided mentally defective have all been barred from owning guns since 1968
- there wasn't any good way enforcing this the Brady Bill enacted a system of background checks in 1994
- first they were required to be done by law enforcement officers and then when that was ruled unconstitutional
- an instant online system was instituted though many law enforcement officers still
- voluntarily do background checks it also widens the gun ban to legal immigrants dishonorably discharged soldiers people under restraining orders
- people under indictment for a crime where the punishment exceeds 1 year and people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence the background check
- can take up to 3 days Congress also offers grants to states to
- improve their electronic background check systems now the state level laws vary widely some states recognize the permits
- of other states and some don't states aren't required to spend their own resources and forcing federal gun laws
- though some do generally states will have rules about gun registration and licenses
- 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
- 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
- shooting hours or even to take a test before you get a gun license some states banned weapons in certain public places
- and some states make it really hard or impossible either carry a gun with you everywhere you go
- called open carry or to carry a gun around secret call concealed carry most states are less restrictive than the federal
- government but some are much more so you may have heard about the Heller case that went to the Supreme Court
- DC had banned handguns altogether and required a trigger lock on any guns in the house
- the Supreme Court struck both of those restrictions down the really important part was the court held that the Second Amendment does
- guarantee an individual right to bear arms and there you have it
