The Act directs the Department of State Police to study background checks for gun transfers.

Requires the Department of State Police to study the efficiency of firearm transfer criminal background checks. Directs the department to submit findings to the interim committees of the Legislative Assembly related to the judiciary not later than September 15, 2026. Sunsets on January 2, 2027.

Studies have one purpose – to tighten regulations on the issue being studied. They are never balanced, but drill down on what they want the outcome to be.

A GUT & STUFF -1 Amendment is a list of gunowner restrictions:

  • Dealer purchase waiting period extended to 72 hours regardless of approval time,
  • Prohibits anyone to possess, purchase, receive,  transport, manufacture, sell, offer to sell, or transfer a rapid fire activator – Class B felony, possession is Class A misdemeanor, exemption if registered with federal law machine gun.
  • Russell Paul Evans Act prohibits possession or owning under 18 of a firearm for any reason, except temporarily transfer by a parent – 18 to 21 are limited to the types of firearms they can possess, except if for law enforcement positions or armed forces. Prohibits under 21 from selling, deliver or transferring any firearm.
  • Public area restrictions added grounds adjacent to restricted buildings such as hospitals, public building, schools, residence of any state official, and anywhere a sign is posted, except if there is an adopted policy for concealed carry and post on their website.

The Amendment reads like guilty without the right to prove our 2nd Amendment rights, and without any criminal act or intent other than the stripping of our 2nd Amendment rights. They want to disarm us while at the same time they want to let more criminals go free (HB 2640) and extend sanctuary to sex offenders (SB 820 & SB 821).

This amendment combines into one bill: HB 3076, SB 696, SB 697, SB 698, SB 429, HB 3224 and HB 3075.
