__Title:__ Preventing Gun Violence

__Purpose:__The purpose of this bill is to reduce and prevent future gun violence by creating organized databases across the United States that will create a network connecting with all stores that sell firearms. This will make the laws that prohibit selling guns to felons or mentally ill enforcable. These people are able to receive firearms because there is a lack of filing or records on these people. When there is an accssessible data network for these gun sellers, they can accurately perform a backround check on any person attemtpting to purchase a firearm from a liscenced vendor or those at secondary selling events such as gun shows. It will also be required by law for any seller to deny and report any attempt to purchase a firearm from anyone on this database. A failure to report or deny these sales will result in a fine of $3,000. This money will be used to help fund the creation of the database.

__Eligibility:__ This bill will directly effect criminal felons, mental patients and businesses that sell guns. Gun dealers will be required to follow new terms of a background checks.

For newly convicted felons, records of that person must be given to the Data Center the very week the felon is found guilty. Updates must be made every month on the felon's record. 3. Data Centers must now provide all information to every gun seller in those specific states. Gun dealers are required by law to deny the sale of a firearm to any felon or mental patient, according to the database, and to report the attempted purchase by any such person.
