Stevenson bill seeks federal handgun licensing plan
Sen. Adlai E. Stevenson ITI Illinois says his new bill to register and license handguns is workable and practical. It would require federal registration for every handgun and a license for owners age 18 and older who meet laws, with penalties for noncompliance. The measure envisions penalties up to five years in prison and $5,000 fine, and allows compensation for lawfully relinquished guns.
