	Gun Control Act of 1968 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gun Control Act prohibited the direct mail order of firearms by consumers and mandated that if a person wants to buy a gun from other than a private individual, he or she has to go to a Federally licensed firearms dealer to buy the gun.
		The Act also bans unlicensed individuals from acquiring handguns outside their State of residence, although long guns (rifles and shotguns) may (under Federal law) be acquired from Federally licensed firearms dealers located in other States, provided this is allowed by both the State of purchase and the State of residence.
		The gun store the firearm is traced to is then called for a copy of the 4473 that matches the firearm in question and then the purchaser on the 4473 is contacted.

	FIREARMS AND FEDERAL LAW: THE GUN CONTROL ACT OF 1968
		The Gun Control Act of 1968, like its 1938 ancestor, was thus something of a compromise candidate at the time of its passage-representing concessions on the part of those opposed to any further federal controls and those who desired extensive further federal involvement.
		A major aim of the Gun Control Act was to assist state and local gun control efforts by reducing the flow of guns from loose-control to tight-control jurisdictions.
		Prior to the Act, two northeastern states and a number of municipalities had attempted to restrict handgun possession to only those of their citizens who could demonstrate a special need to own one.[182] Such laws were intended to reduce handgun ownership to a tiny fraction of the national average of 40 handguns per 100 households.
