Tag: Gun Laws

There are a variety of gun laws in the United States that can be confusing for both gun owners and non-gun owners alike. Below is a breakdown of some of the most common laws in the country.

Federal Laws: The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, also known as the Brady Bill, was enacted in 1993 and requires background checks on all firearms purchases from a federally licensed dealer. In addition, the National Firearms Act of 1934 regulates the sale and ownership of certain types of firearms, such as machine guns and sawed-off shotguns.

State Laws: Each state has its own set of gun laws that may be more or less restrictive than federal laws. For instance, some states require a permit or license to purchase a firearm, while others do not. Additionally, some states have “stand your ground” laws that allow individuals to use deadly force in self-defense without retreating first, while other states do not have these laws.

Local Laws: In addition to state gun laws, some cities and counties have their own gun ordinances that can be more restrictive than state or federal law. For example, New York City has a ban on certain types of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

As you can see, there is a lot to know about gun laws in the United States. It is important to research the laws in your state and locality so that you can be sure you are complying with all applicable regulations.
