It amazes me that a sitting congressperson thinks that this law would pass the strict scrutiny (or even intermediate scrutiny) test before the Supreme Court. The licensing requirements are far from the "least restrictive means" to serve the state interest of preventing firearm fatalities. And the prison terms and fines are grossly excessive -- a prison term of 10-15 years and a fine of $50,000+ for handing a gun to an unlicensed person, plus 15-25 years in prison and a $75,000+ fine for the person receiving it? Come on. That's insane. Proposing legislation like this serves no purpose but to gin up controversy.
