Bill Title --> Stop the Shot
=== Purpose --> This bill is trying to maximize the US government's control on firearms. With this bill in effect, several school shootings, murders, terrorist acts, and destruction of wildlife can be stopped. ===

Places --> All across then United States of America.
=== Terms and Benefits --> With this bill in effect, in order to own a gun; you must be at least 21 years old. If you are below 21 years old, then you may only use a gun if you are being watched by a legal parent or guardian. If you are over the age of 18 and you wish to be in the military, then you may only own and handle a gun if you are training to be in the armed forces or are currently active in the armed force. You will only be able to use this gun if it was given to you to by your commander. This gun will still be owned by the commander and only issued to you for a short period of time. This will lower the crime rate drastically in the United States because younger people must mature before they have the risk of owning a gun. This will also help lower the amount of animals killed illegally. If you are hunting, then a police officer may come up to you and ask you for your permit. This permit will allow you to hunt only animals that are in hunting season. Lastly this will also help with children that are getting a hold of guns through their parents. The only way that they can shoot their parents guns is if they are being watched very closely by their parents. There are new child locks for guns that parents can put on them. They are very inexpensive and very effective. These child locks are much recommended throughout the United States in order to help children stop misusing guns. ===

=== Fiscal Impact --> The permits will be checked by the local police department. They already do this but instead, making sure that the user of the gun is 21 years old. Because this is such as big issue, the United States government will pay the wages of 10 new policemen per state. The wages per year for each of these policemen will be $40,000. This will come to a total cost of 2,000,000 per year. It would make sense to tax the people on this issue because it is helping them stay safe. ===
