Here’s a bill that make sense.
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida has introduced legislation to establish a computerized, searchable database of gun records under a bill introduced in the U.S. Senate on Monday.
The Crime Gun Tracing Modernization Act would strike a current federal prohibition on the creation of a searchable database of gun records, reports Homeland Preparedness News reports. The ATF would be required to establish a database that includes records of the sale, importation, production, and shipment of firearms within three years under the bill.
“The fact that there is a law on the books that forces agents to comb through millions of files by hand is absolutely ridiculous,” Nelson said.
