SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) On average, more than 100,000 people in the United 
        States are shot in murders, assaults, and other crimes and more 
        than 32,000 people die from gun violence annually, including 
        2,677 children under 18 years of age.
            (2) Many of these crimes were committed by people who never 
        should have been able to purchase a gun.
            (3) Each year hundreds of law enforcement officers lose 
        their lives to gun violence, having been shot to death while 
        protecting their communities.
            (4) Millions of guns are sold every year in ``no questions 
        asked'' transactions and experts estimate that 40 percent of 
        guns now sold in the United States are sold without a 
        background check of the purchaser.
