[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 4117833, member: 12952"] Massachusetts lawmakers U.S. Sen. Edward Markey, along with U.S. Reps. Joe Kennedy III and Ayanna Pressley on Monday introduced their Making America Safe and Secure ([URL='https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/2014?s=1&r=3']MASS[/URL]) Act. The move would use federal grants to incentivize states to adopt the same gun-licensing standards used by the Commonwealth, which are some of the most restrictive firearm laws in the nation. Filed in the Senate as [URL='https://www.markey.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/MASS%20Act%202019.pdf']S.2014[/URL], the bill would establish a U.S. Justice Department grant program open to eligible states that adopt and maintain licensing standards for gun owners. The guidelines would include that gun owners maintain a license, issued by their local chief of police or sheriff, for the entire time they legally possess a firearm. Licensing would include a thorough background check that could include an in-person interview and character references. First-time applicants would have to show proof of firearms training and the agency would have the ability to deny, suspend or revoke a license if they deem the applicant unsuitable. [/QUOTE]
