Here are the laws that student gun-control activists from Parkland actually want to pass

The second legislative goal the "March for Our Lives" protestors want to accomplish is implementing a limitation on the number of bullets a firearm can hold.

Though it's unclear what exactly that limitation would be, high-capacity magazines are typically defined as those that carry more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

On Friday, for instance, lawmakers in Vermont passed a gun control law that banned high-capacity magazines. It defined "high-capacity" as more than 15 rounds for handguns and more than 10 rounds for all other firearms.

There is currently no federal law mandating that buyers pass a background check when purchasing a firearm online or at a gun show from a private, unlicensed seller.

The gun control activists from Parkland and supporters of the "March for Our Lives" wants to change that by requiring a background check "on every gun sale, no exceptions."

It's worth nothing that some states have laws requiring background checks for purchases from private, unlicensed dealers.

During an interview with The Outline, Hogg said that policymakers need to define which individuals with a mental illness should and should not be able to buy a gun.

But he also outlined three other specific solutions he believes will help reduce gun violence:

Slap a 10% tax on all firearms sales Raise the minimum federal age of gun ownership and possession to 21 Increase spending for mental healthcare programs

Currently, federal law prohibits federally licensed dealers from selling a handgun to anyone under 21, but individuals older than 18 are still allowed to purchase a long gun or rifle.

Federal law also states that all sales of shotguns and rifles by manufacturers, producers, and importers are subject to an 11% excise tax. Handgun sales are taxed at 10%.

There's also an 11% federal excise tax on "the sale of firearms and ammunition by manufacturers, producers, and importers."

Some gun control advocates have previously proposed taxing bullets or levying additional taxes on gun sales to fund gun violence prevention research and treat gunshot victims.
