LicenseOS

The United States is transformed after President Jack Goodwin passes the Sloane Act, replacing fragmented state gun laws with a single federal licensing system. Despite fierce opposition, the bill becomes law and reshapes gun ownership nationwide.

Firearms are now strictly regulated through tiered licenses requiring background checks, mental health screening, training, insurance, and asset thresholds for higher classes. Private sales are eliminated, and all weapons are registered and tracked under ATF authority. Gun ownership shifts from possession to compliance and certification.

Instead of stockpiling weapons, citizens adapt by lining up at ATF offices and training centers during a grace period to renew or upgrade licenses. Resistance fades into structured participation.
