U.S. Senate Democrats want states to license handgun purchasers and lawmakers have introduced a bill that would encourage states to do so by providing federal grants. Efforts to reduce gun violence continues from lawmakers on Capitol Hill. “Just like you need a license to drive a car you should get a license to purchase a handgun,” Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said. Van Hollen introduced the Handgun Licensing Purchaser Act that would motivate states through federal grants to require individuals to obtain a license before buying a handgun, something Maryland currently does. |

Chicago and New York are, ahem, prime examples of the "truth" of this statement:
“The data has shown that these permits to purchase acts in states have gone a long way in preventing gun violence,” Andrew Patrick, of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, said.
That, however, is bovine exhaust and is just a precursor to firearm confiscation. |

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
