April Burton and Paige Berger Gun Control Bill- "Think before you shoot!"

Title- “Think before you shoot” Sponsors- Paige Berger for North Carolina as a Moderate and April Burton for Virginia as a Moderate Conservative Purpose- We want to eliminate publically held Gun affairs and Gun Shows, and will have major consequences from their violations. This will reduce the accidental or out of hand crimes being committed using guns at these events. There will be extended rules needed to be taken into consideration while making an educated decision on this issue. This bill also proposes that federal gun registration needs to be committed in order to have firearm ownership. This needs to be carried out because our government will keep track of misuse of guns, to ensure that only responsible people have ownership. At this point, no private gun exchanges or auctions should be made without government consent and paper work. If this is found to be violated federal government has to power to take away right to bear arms from defendant. If these cases are severe the one that committed the crime can serve time. Eligibility- The individuals that this bill applies to- Terms and Benefits- This proposed bill we believe has an indefinite effect. This is because we want to create this bill for the better of the nation, and which it wouldn’t make sense to take away something with a positive effect. However, if this bill doesn’t have a positive effect for a reason unpredicted, the federal government has the power to overthrow it. The only case that this might happen in is if the crime rates increase because irresponsible people decide to make poor decisions in a way to get back at the federal government and gun regulation changes. “Think before You Shoot” will not have the need to be inactivated as long as all citizens that this regards understands and follows the purpose and rules that this bill instructs.
 * 1) Any one owning fire arms
 * 2) All legal American citizens that could be involved in a crime
 * 3) Federal government
 * 4) Between the ages of 18 to 21 it varies between different states in the U.S.

“Think before you shoot” will affect many American citizens. This will affect them either positively or negatively depending on their actions. Each state has separate laws for the legal age required to own a gun. These ages range from eighteen to twenty-one years. A driver’s license is not needed to have ownership of firearms. If you currently own a gun, are interested in owning a gun, or involve yourself in activities with firearms you must understand the rules and regulations completely. If this does not describe you, you will not be negatively affective. You will be positively affective though, because with this bill we expect the crime rate to decrease. Potential immigrants entering into the United States will need to study for and pass an exam of these laws, demonstrating their understanding of this bill. Those are the people being affected by the bill “Think before you shoot.”

With “Think before you shoot” comes many benefits and penalties. The benefits and penalties will be decided by your actions you have associated with guns. A benefit is the government will be able to regulate gun exchanges and purchases, private or public. This makes it easier for our federal and states government to identify who owns guns. If they can identify who own guns and what kind this will make it easier for crimes to be solved. Another benefit would be as long as you do not violate this bill then you can use your gun for appropriate behavior. As long as you are responsible you can own a gun. One last benefit is the crime rate will most likely go down because there would not be inappropriate gun owners, so they would not kill anyone. Which means that could be an innocent life saved, and maybe that could have been someone you knew and cared about. A penalty for not following this bill would be not being able to own a gun. If you misuse a gun then you will not be able to own a fire arm. Another penalty could even be going to jail if you misuse a gun severely enough. One last penalty is if you get caught giving your gun to a person younger than the ages of eighteen to twenty-one (depending on your states age for legally owning a gun) you will get punished varying on your case.

In order for this bill to have a positive affect you cannot take citizens word for abiding by the law. This bill needs to be enforced. The job to imply this strict enforcement of “Think before you shoot!” is of the state governments like local police departments and other legal departments. The reason for this burden to be upon these people is because our United States federal government cannot keep a close monitor on all of the citizens and how they control their gun ownership rights. The local police departments have a closer watch on the people in their controlling cities and towns and less disruption and unlawfulness will come of these laws and provide a greater safety for those of our country. If each department puts in effort for their cities, as a whole country this bill enforcement should come together much easier.
