Another example: it's illegal to buy guns for someone who can't pass a background check, but few are ever prosecuted under federal law. There's also no federal statute that prohibits gun trafficking. Title II cracks down on these serious crimes by increasing penalties. (5/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Our gun laws are littered with loopholes. For example, Americans need to be 21 to buy a handgun—but they can legally purchase certain semi-automatic rifles and shotguns at 18. Title I of the Protecting Our Kids Act raises the purchasing age to 21 for these weapons. (4/10) — PolitiTweet.org

Ghost guns, meaning guns that lack serial numbers and can't be traced, aren't subject to existing law because they don't fit the legal definition of "firearm." Title III amends the law so these guns, including those made from kits and via a 3D printer, are regulated. (6/10) — PolitiTweet.org
