 * Issue category and Bill title**
 * - Gun Control - Mandatory Background Checks on Firearms**


 * Purpose**
 * The purpose of our bill was to help stop violent crimes. Our bill will help stop violent crimes from occurring because we will run a background check on everyone who tries to buy a gun. if they have a recored or a history with violent crimes they wont be allowed to buy the gun. Our main goal is to save peoples lives by controlling who buys guns in our country. When the background check is run the government will also be able to look at who has bought a gun. This is the purpose of our bill.**


 * Eligibility-who is our bill going to apply to?**
 * - Our bill will apply to every person in the United States trying to purchase a firearm**


 * Terms and Benefits**
 * - Our bill's terms are to take a background check on every person trying to purchase a firearm. If the background check goes well and the person has no criminal record, they can buy their choice of a firearm with no issues (within legal limits), but if a person comes in with a criminal record like armed robbery or just anything including a firearm they will not be sold an firearm.**
 * - If a store does sell a firearm to a person with a criminal record they will be fined accordingly to the size of their company and the person who bought it will be visited by the local police and have all weapons removed of the house hold.**
 * - The benefits of our bill will be people will be safer from recurring criminal acts and will have less to worry about. To make this bill possible we need all stores or companies that sell firearms to install a program that will check every person's background.**


 * Fiscal impact- what is our bill going to cost**


 * The financial part of our bill is not very expensive. As our research shows it only cost 300 dollars to download this program. In return you receive 200 background checks a month. No employees will need to be paid extra but that is optional to the companies for this program. This will not really affect any company because if one firearm is sold will practically or totally pays off this 300 dollar cost of this program with probably money left over from the sale. Also 200 background checks will definitely be enough for any store/ business who sells guns, because most likely no company will get over 200 people a month trying to buy firearms.**
