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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
