Prohibits an unlicensed individual from receiving more than one handgun within any 30-day period. Specifies exceptions. Provides for imprisonment for up to five years (currently, one year) of a licensed dealer, importer, manufacturer, or collector knowingly making any false statement in connection with required firearms records.
