in the public interest to provide a system of identifying
persons who are not qualified to acquire or possess firearms,
firearm ammunition, stun guns, and tasers within the State of

prohibited by Section 24-3.1 of the Criminal Code of 2012, from
acquiring or possessing firearms and firearm ammunition and who
are prohibited by this Act from acquiring stun guns and tasers.
