SB22

=
**Purpose:** The purpose of this bill is to limit the accessibility of firearms to criminals and people who want to use them for bad purposes. Crimes like homicides and robberies happen each day, and in the U.S alone, there are approximately 45 murders per day. There will be a background check for every person who wants to purchase firearms, and if they have been convicted of a crime that involved weapons, then they shouldn't be allowed to purchase the firearms. This will hopefully reduce the amount of gun-related crimes, and the number of deaths in the United States. =====

=
**Terms and Benefits:** In 1996, there were a total of 34,040 firearm-related deaths. 41% of these were homicides. That means that there were over 13,956 fire-arm related homicides in the United States in 1996. We hope this bill will prevent many of these deaths from occurring. This bill will require the seller to check the buyer's ID, and preform a background check. If the person wishing to purchase the firearm has a record of violence, doesn't match the age requirement, or is using a fake ID, then the person shall be denied their purchase and blacklisted. This list will be sent to every other store that sells guns in the area. There will be the name of the person, a short description, and a picture. We will also need to take a census of every gun store in the U.S. We will ask them if they need a better security system, or if they don't have one and need one. These will be running 24/7, and if someone wants to purchase weapons, then they will use the picture from the system to run the background check. The store owners, or employees will be able to set these up, and get them running within a couple of hours. Every gun store will also get a laptop that is equipped with the background search software. This should prevent people from using weapons to harm other people. =====

=
**Fiscal Impact:** The fiscal impact is hard to calculate, because there is no real record of the number of gun stores in the U.S. Most of the stores might already have computers, but we need to be sure that everyone gets one If we don't know the exact number of gun stores, then it will be even harder to estimate the number of computers needed. We think it would be best if we give each of the stores a laptop with the background searching software already installed on it. =====
 * ===== We need about 109,000 laptops for the approximately 109,000 gun stores in the Nation. The laptops are Dell Inspiron 15Rs, that sell at $450 each. =====
 * ===== Each gun store will also need a camera surveillance system. We will ship every store one Turbo View H.264 High Definition Recording Device, that are $899 each. =====
 * There will also be an alarm system installed in every store. The Viasonic, Powermax + Wireless Home Security System costs $210, and is a good choice for a security system.
 * The total cost for this bill will be approximately $369,930,000 for all the hardware required
