PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Gun Crime Enforcement and Second
Amendment Restoration Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) One of the primary duties of government is to protect
its citizens from armed violent criminals. America's cherished
liberty and the social and economic prosperity of its
communities are dependent upon government's ability to maintain
public safety.
(2) Criminals, by definition, operate outside the law and
routinely acquire firearms when they so desire. Banning
specific types of firearms has no effect on the moral behavior
of those who choose to inflict harm on innocent citizens.
(3) The most effective way to protect the public from gun-
wielding violent criminals is to arrest, convict, and
incarcerate such predators, and to ensure that they serve
sentences of sufficient length to prevent them from returning
quickly to the streets.

SEC. 3. ARMED VIOLENT CRIMINAL APPREHENSION DIRECTIVE.

(a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Attorney General of the United States shall

assistant United States attorney to prosecute armed violent
criminals.
(2) Each United States attorney shall establish an armed
violent criminal apprehension task force comprised of
appropriate law enforcement representatives. The task force
shall develop strategies for removing armed violent criminals
from the streets, taking into consideration--
(A) the importance of severe punishment in
deterring armed violent crime;
(B) the effectiveness of Federal and State laws
pertaining to apprehension and prosecution of armed
violent criminals;
(C) the resources available to each law enforcement
agency participating in the task force;
(D) the nature and extent of the violent crime
occurring in the district for which the United States
attorney is appointed; and
(E) the principle of limited Federal involvement in
the prosecution of crimes traditionally prosecuted in
State and local jurisdictions.
(3) Not less frequently than monthly, the Attorney General
shall require each United States attorney to report to the
Department of Justice the number of defendants charged with, or
convicted of, violating section 922(g) or 924 of title 18,
United States Code, in the district for which the United States
attorney is appointed.
(4) Not less frequently than twice annually, the Attorney

request the Attorney General to waive the requirements of
subsection (a) with respect to the United States attorney.
(2) Provision of waiver.--The Attorney General may waive
the requirements of subsection (a) pursuant to a request made
under paragraph (1), in accordance with guidelines which shall
be established by the Attorney General. In establishing the
guidelines, the Attorney General shall take into consideration
the number of assistant United States attorneys in the office
of the United States attorney making the request and the level
of violent crime committed in the district for which the United
States attorney is appointed.
(c) Armed Violent Criminal Defined.--As used in this section,
the term ''armed violent criminal'' means a person who is accused of
violating section 922(g)(1) of title 18, United States Code, having
been previously convicted of a violent crime, or who is accused of
violating section 924 of such title.

WEAPONS AND LARGE CAPACITY AMMUNITION FEEDING DEVICES.

(a) Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
striking subsections (v) and (w) and by striking the appendix.
(b) Section 921(a) of such title is amended by striking paragraph
(30).

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) work is inherently American and honorable;

independence, and respect for others;
(3) in order to reduce recidivism, provide restitution to
victims, reparations to communities, and promote the values of
responsibility, independence, and respect for others, the
Federal Government should enact policies which expand work,
educational, and life skills opportunities for prisoners
incarcerated in Federal and State penal institutions;
(4) American taxpayers are justified to expect that
prisoners reimburse the United States Treasury for the cost of
their incarceration, and in addition, that prisoners should
make monetary restitution to a fund which benefits the victims
of crime;
(5) prisoners should be prohibited from engaging in certain
types of activities which are not healthy and conducive to
their successful rehabilitation and restitution;

which are unnecessary, enhance leisure activities, or do not
promote successful rehabilitation;

working conditions guaranteed to hard working, law abiding
Americans;
(8) existing Federal laws limit prisoners from engaging in
work, and do not impose mandatory work requirements for
prisoners; and
(9) existing barriers to prisoner labor should be removed
and Federal laws should be strengthened to ensure that
prisoners, their victims, taxpayers, and society in general
reap the maximum benefits and positive values associated with
work.

of services by prisoners to private for-profit entities under this
subsection and the amendment made by this subsection. Such rules shall
govern the wages and other proceeds paid by entities for those
