Summary:

The 106th Congress considered proposals to 1) require background checks at gun shows, 2) require handgun safety locks, and 3) increase controls on assault weapons. Such provisions were included in the Senate-passed Violent and Repeat Juvenile Offender Accountability Act of 1999 (S. 254). The House adopted similar provisions as amendments to the Mandatory Gun Show Background Check Act (H.R. 2122); however, this bill was defeated. The Senate amended the House-passed Juvenile Justice Reform Act (H.R. 1501) with the text of S. 254.
