which will make it mandatory to have fingerprints, mental evaluations for handguns with additional fees and if you have children inspected storage on a regular basis with prison terms of 5 yrs if you violate

Can you please help me out? I can't find the parts with fingerprints and I don't think there's anything about inspecting private homes. As far as I can tell, they're only talking about gun dealers.

Am I missing something?

“I can’t find the parts with fingerprints”

SEC. 102. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS.

(a) In General- In order to be issued a firearm license under this title, an individual shall submit to the Attorney General (in accordance with the regulations promulgated under subsection (b)) an application, which shall include—

(1) a current, passport-sized photograph of the applicant that provides a clear, accurate likeness of the applicant;

(2) the name, address, and date and place of birth of the applicant;

(3) any other name that the applicant has ever used or by which the applicant has ever been known;

(4) a clear thumb print of the applicant, which shall be made when, and in the presence of the entity to whom, the application is submitted;

“I don’t think there’s anything about inspecting private homes”

It may be implied by the “safe storage” requirements. How can they know if you are storing your guns safely if they never come in and have a look? although section 403 is (probably) purposefully, since it rather just firearms business premisis they say:

the Attorney General may, during regular business hours, enter any place in which firearms or firearm products are manufactured, stored, or held, for distribution in commerce, and inspect those areas where the products are so manufactured, stored, or held.

Considering that these folks think growing grain to feed your own livestock is “interstate commerce”, they’d probably find that any gun stored or held is stored for “distribution in commerce”. After all, if you keep it, you are affecting interstate commerce by not participating in it, at least as much as you would if you sold it, and thus are affecting that commerce. Now I know that doesn’t make sense, but that is the point, it doesn’t have to if the courts will allow it as a justification.

This bill restricts gun selling and buying to dealers, and when buying you sign up for the inspections of your home storage if you have children.....
HR1022 has 50 supporters and has to deal with assault rifles. The HR1022 number wasn’t on my orig post, but came from another freeper...the marine on the radio only gave HR45 but both are restrictive ownership and ability to buy and sell a gun...or own a certain types of rifles...
