SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds as follows:
(1) In 2013, more than 33,000 Americans were killed by guns
and almost 90 percent of the firearms used in these deaths were
handguns.
(2) Recently published research by top national experts,
notably on Missouri and Connecticut handgun purchaser licensing
laws, have estimated that Missouri's repeal of its handgun
purchaser licensing law led to a 25-percent increase in firearm
homicide rates while Connecticut's adoption of its handgun
purchaser licensing law led to a 40-percent decrease in firearm
homicide rates.
(3) In States which have had effective handgun purchaser
licensing laws for decades, such as Connecticut, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, and New York, the vast majority of guns traced to
crimes originated in other States, which supports the need for
handgun purchaser licensing laws in every State.
