Allows Criminal Penalties for Buying a Gun for Someone who Can't
Allows Criminal Penalties for Buying a Gun with False Information
Allows Criminal Penalties for Selling a Gun without a Proper Background Check
Federal crimes since 1960s
Prohibits Violent Misdemeanor Criminals from Possessing Guns
federal crime since 1990s
Allows Inspections of Gun Dealers
federal law, along with record keeping, since 1939.
Most gun show dealers are FFLs, if they are not individual one time sales and are in business for profit without FFL, are in violation of federal law.
Unless there is a logical reason for redundant state laws, the real score is five. That is the level of MAIG's dishonesty. It works for naive people who don't know shit about US federal gun laws, not with me. Most US people don't know jack about their federal gun laws, so I don't expect Canadians to.
Tiahrt is the author of the Tiahrt Amendment, which prohibits the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) from releasing information from its firearms trace database to anyone other than a law enforcement agency or prosecutor in connection with a criminal investigation. Additionally, any data so released is inadmissible in a civil lawsuit.[4] Some groups, including the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, believe that having further access to the ATF database would help municipal police departments track down sellers of illegal guns and curb crime. These groups are trying to undo the Tiahrt Amendment.[5] Conversely, the Tiahrt Amendment is supported by the Fraternal Order of Police, as it allows municipal police departments full access to ATF trace data in any criminal investigation.
