This Act may be cited as the ''Safe and Responsible Handgun Act of
1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds that--
(1) certain handguns that are widely marketed across State
lines are traced disproportionately to violent crimes, and in
particular to crimes in States other than those in which they
were manufactured or purchased;
(2) many of these handguns are of dangerously poor quality
and threaten the safety even of legitimate users for sport or
self-defense;
(3) States should be encouraged to restrict the sale of
handguns that are unsafe, particularly suited for crime, and
not useful for sporting, hunting, law enforcement, or self-
defense purposes; and
(4) accurate and uniform data on the use of guns is
essential to formulating effective policy to reduce violent
crime involving guns and deaths and injuries from such crimes.
