I recently saw more senators supporting a federal gun licensing bill. We’ll ponder what that means next, on The Constitution Study.

What is the actual bill number that has been introduced by these Senators? I found https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/116/s2449/text/is. It would help to have you mention the specific bill number in your presentation. It starts out as the following:
116th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. 2449
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
September 10, 2019
Mr. Booker (for himself and Mr. Blumenthal) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To amend title 18, United States Code, to require licenses to acquire or receive firearms, and for other purposes.
Thanks!
The bill language I have found has not been given a number yet. You can read it here: https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/ALB20043.pdf
Thank you for this. 260 pages… Whew!! This seems similar to the HR 5717 from the House of Representatives. What I am confused about is the fact that most bills originate in the House. Then, if approved, go to the Senate.
Only bills for raising revenue must start in the House. All other legislation can start in either house.
I found it. It was introduced by Cory Booker in the House of Representatives as H.R.5717 and does start with the following: “H.R.5717 – To end the epidemic of gun violence and build safer communities by strengthening Federal firearms laws and supporting gun violence research, intervention, and prevention initiatives.116th Congress (2019-2020)”
It would be good to get the correct source as being in the House of Representatives and not the Senate.
Thanks!
