A Congressional Gun Control Pledge

Congressional Gun Control Pledge

As a member of the United States Congress, I _____________________________ hereby pledge that I understand “Gun Control” for purposes of this pledge is defined as a set of laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians and that I will support gun control by:

·        Gun control will be regulated primarily and overridingly at the Federal level, but may be supplemented at the State Level for unique circumstances of each state.

·        Work/vote for the establishment of a Firearms and Ammunition Tracking Database (DB) for all persons residing within the United States.

·        Background checks, competency and training requirements and fingerprinting on anyone seeking to purchase a firearm and that authorized purchases are made in person (not online or by mail) and only from licensed dealers.  Anyone convicted of a felony, under a domestic violence restraining order, or has been placed on the “no fly” list shall be prohibited from owning a firearm.

·        Gun show sales must be transacted through a licensed dealer before possession.

·        Purchase of Ammo shall be recorded by person in the Firearms and Ammunition Tracking database, and limited as to quantity per year and be sold through authorized and licensed dealers (not online).

·        Silencers and noise suppressors shall be illegal.

·        All weapons sold in the United States must have identifying information such as a serial number on the weapon.

·        Concealed and Carry is to be illegal except by those receiving special training and applying for and subsequently acquiring a special license to conceal and carry.

·        Open carry of a weapon by civilians shall be prohibited.
