The Automatic Gunfire Prevention Act would ban the sale or possession of bump stocks like those used by the shooter in the Las Vegas attack last fall. These devices effectively turn semi-automatic rifles into automatic weapons.
The Gun Trafficking Prevention Act would make it easier for federal law enforcement to go after people who buy guns for those who are prohibited from buying guns by making such purchases a felony offense.
The Handgun Trigger Safety Act would authorize grants for the development of new technology that allows only an authorized user to fire a handgun. The legislation would also require that newly manufactured handguns include this technology.
The Gun Show Loophole Closing Act would require purchases at gun shows to be subject to the same background checks that are required at gun stores.
The Select Committee on Gun Violence Prevention would investigate causes of mass shootings, the background check system, closing loopholes that give domestic abusers access to firearms, and the implementation of gun violence prevention laws, while respecting the 2nd Amendment.
