Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Provides that a federally licensed firearms dealer may not transfer a firearm to a person who is not a federally licensed firearms dealer unless before the transfer of the firearm, the dealer inquires of the applicant for purchase of the firearm whether that person has previously purchased a firearm and if the applicant answers the question in the affirmative, the dealer shall have the applicant sign a form under penalty of perjury that the applicant has previously purchased a firearm. Provides that upon signing that form, the dealer, after complying with all applicable federal, State, and local laws, rules, and ordinances, may transfer the firearm to the applicant.
